HTML - Language Translation
Similar TutorialsHi, Just joined your forum. Very informative ! We have always embedded HTML code into our website so that visitors could choose french, german or whatever and then the whole site then worked in french or whatever the chosen language was. see our current site www.euroburolimited.co.uk As you will see this site needed an upgrade to better html standards and better visual presentation and so we bought a smart new template and have upgraded everything. Whilst the site is not yet published to our main domain the new version can be viewed on www.calmwoodlimited.com (This is just a spare domain that we are using for testing purposes. So whats's our problem ? On the original domain, the visitor chose his language and then the whole website worked in french - or whatever. on the new website, exactly the same code is embedded but it only works on the .index page - not on any of the others. How do we fix it so that we don't need to embed the code on every single page ? It must be something to do with the css div's or whatever. Any bright ideas please ? David. Hello there. As the topic states, I don't know exactly what language I'm looking for. I believe I've accomplished what I'm trying to do using embedded tables in the past with some CSS scripting, but it is not working, and I'm getting frustrated. Essentially, I designed the site in Photoshop CS3, sliced it up, and now in one cell I'm needing a repeatable background so that whenever the content is entered into the site, the borders extend down the side of the site. I could re-cut the picture, but I'm trying to avoid doing so if at all possible. The kicker is that, also in this same cell, I have an image that I need to use as a background that DOESNT repeat. When you scroll down the page, you see this image in the cell, but as you go down and down and down on the site, the other background previously mentioned is the one that repeats. Is there anyway to accomplish this? I've tried creating a table within that cell and using the background I need to not repeat in it while the cell beneathe it used the background that repeated, but to no avail. Hello!

(I have a bad feeling about that this is in wrong section, if so SORRY and I dont mind if you move this.) Greetings to all! I just got a request to implement a number of pages, that we currently host in English, with a Portuguese translation. Does anyone have any pointers as to how to properly implement content in different languages. What encoding should be used? Portuguese content is full of non-standard characters and I'm not sure that if I simply copy & paste the content that every browser will render all characters correctly. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Hi! I am stuck with this problem i need to make a textarea where will appear only cyrillic letters, no matter which keyboard is used for typing. Here is an example: http://www.yandex.ru/keyboard_qwerty.html If you write to that textarea you will see that only cyrillic letters will appear ( the "ру" option must be selected, the button can be found on left-bottom ) Is there any attribute for textarea or some html/xhtml declaration I can use to do that or must i use something more complicated for example javascript. Thanks! - grybdo Good morning/afternoon, I have a quick question. I have made a website for my company in English for the U.S. Market. My boss has now asked me to use the same website but to change the text in the website to several foreign languages and they will be hosted on domains in those countries which speak the respective languages. My question is, Will this cause any problems with search engines or displaying the website? If my coding is in English but the text is in another language and hosted on a foreign domain? Thought it might be helpful if I also showed what Doctype I was using. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> Thank you in advance for all your help. How do you change language in websites? If there are any codes or a procedure please help. The problem: a long text with alternating lines in Chinese and English. What tag is best to use for each line - <p> or <div>, with classes? The fonts will be specified in the css. Or am I off-base? thanks for any advice Hello all, I don't know if this is the correct forums but here goes. I have an english site that needs to be viewed in Farsi language. I don't know where to start but my boss seems to think we can just place a script in the header to translate all the content, but I cannot find that script. Is there a script for this? What is the best way in going about this. Thanks again for your help. I am the owner of http://www.translationhelp.com and I am debating whether to use Unicode on the pages or not. There are over 500 translators in the database (but not yet fully registered as the site is still in development). Each of these translators needs to create at least two "profile" web pages (one in their source language and one in their target language). This means I need to have the ability to allow the translators to enter their profile information in two separate forms when they register in their respective languages so that the form contents once submitted will display properly in the user's browser ("user" here means potential clients looking for a translator). I have heard of some problems with Unicode and browser/computer configuration so I am not sure if that is the best solution. It also seems more complex and therefore more expensive and perhaps more prone to bugs. I am also not sure how to implement Unicode so that the translators can read/type their info into the form in their languages and the pages resulting from the form submission are displayed in Unicode. The other solution is to set the form pages to be displayed automatically using the specific language charset for that page and to display the web pages using the charset of that page's language. The problem is that I have not had the actual site pages translated yet (that is coming soon) and the common elements (menus etc.) are all in English. This will mean a translator's profile page with a language charset of Japanese (for example) will also have menu items in English. The combination of the two languages is troublesome and the only solution I can come up with is to use Unicode OR display these pages without menus using a target "_blank" to open a new browser window and a couple of images (in English) to close the window or whatever. I have been thinking and wondering about this for some time and I could use any help or opinions to get me over the hump of indecision I am stuck at.

Thanks . . Hi all, I am currently working on a website using Dreamweaver CS3. Whenever I view the (currently very basic) site in Firefox I get the line of code I entered as the title of this thread at the top of the page (directly above the banner) as if I had just typed it into the canvas area (correct term?). Whenever I view it in IE it appears just fine, not sure about other browsers though.
