HTML - Language Conversion - English To Farsi
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. Similar TutorialsHow should I define the meta "lang" while I'm using both languages, English and Japanese in a single HTML page? Does this markup make sense to you? http://www.hanamiweb.com/utf8test.html I have a question about US/DE website coding. I was asked some time ago to build a website for the company I work for and I am now being asked to build a website for our company in german/deutsche. My main concern is not the text itself, we have several native germans here that will translate it for me, but for search engines and coding. Can I code the website in standard html written in english with the visible text in german, even though it will have a "www.name.de"? Will it be searchable with google.de? Will it be able to correctly viewed by browsers in europe? Hi all, First time here. May be this is easy for all but I am writing this after experiencing a lot of frustration trying to write a very simple html file that uses regional font. I am on windows-xp. A font called Mangal which comes with the o/s itself is in question. All I want to do is show some text in this font (which is an Indian font, basically) on the browser. Here is my html : HTML Code: <html> <head> </head> <body> <font face="Mangal">Hello There...</font> </html> I opened this html in firefox and IE and in both the text appeared in English and not in Hindi; which it is expected to be in. I changed the char set to UTF-8 (in both) and tried but didn't work. After doing several google searches I discovered I need something called as eot file. So I downloaded the s/w WEFT from MS and installed and created eot file as described in online tutorials. The s/w did change my above file to : HTML Code: <html> <head> <STYLE TYPE="text/css">^M <!-- /* $WEFT -- Created by: prasi () on 8/7/2009 -- */^ @font-face {^M font-family: Times New Roman;^M font-style: normal;^M font-weight: normal;^M src: url(TIMESNE0.eot);^M }^M @font-face {^M font-family: Mangal;^M font-style: normal;^M font-weight: normal;^M src: url(MANGAL0.eot);^M }^M -->^M </STYLE>^M </head> <body> <font face="Mangal">Hello There..</font> </html> But still the text appeared in English itself. I tried adding each of the following to my html document: HTML Code: <!-- inside head : > <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=x-user-defined"> <!-- On top of html doc> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> And tried to open the file in IE / Firefox but it didn't work. The text appears in English itself. Everytime I made changes I tried changing the charset from default to utf-8 to user-defined but the text still remained in English. I tried typing text using Mangal font in notepad / openoffice but it didn't work. Earlier only rectangles appeared. After addition of support for complex script (Control panel -> regional settings -> languages), I am seeing text typed in notepad with Mangal font appearing in English. But still I don't see Hindi text getting typed in Notepad / openoffice-writer and most importantly not in the browser with my html So I'll be most obliged and happy if some one could help me out with basic steps towards writing html document which uses non-english font. To be specific Mangal. Thanks in anticipation. 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 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. Hi, 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. The title says everything. (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 Hi I need to convert html page into xml format . Is it possible without using any external tools like tidy etc. pls send ur suggestions. thanx. 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. hello , i want to design a site on different language like chines , hindi , arabic....etc how i can do that , site is in classic asp how i can use this font , ? i know its done usiing UTF coding but some of the browsers not supporting this features wht i can do in this case Web Design Company is a site previously built in using only html and javascript.Now it wants to switch to J2EE or php.What is the best choice for it,can any one help? web design Is it possible to convert a webpage (written in HTML) into a format that will eanble it to be shown on an ordinary television set via a DVD player?
