View in different language

[nicole]

Hi i am in the process of creating a website for a hotel in Turkey, i have created it in the English language but wish to also view it in Turkish, is this possible and if so how? After looking at various other websites for hotels i notice they have multi language choices and i need the same.

Thanks

Nicole

Create, in your index page, a link forTurkish. It could be, f.e. a Turkish flag. Then create a homepage for the Turkish part of the site. In this page put an English Flag, so they can get back on the English homepage. Before going on, please make sure that all necessary for the Turkish language characters, are available in BV

Special Characters are inserted as symbols in BV. Insert some text in your page, then go in Insert, at the bottom of the dropdown Symbol, and in the popup select the font you want and check accordingly to see if there are the necessary characters.

The Blue Voda editor is designed to run on Windows based machines and the boyz from Richmond support every written language as of "XP" the addition of languages other than Latin based that is cycrillic or simplified Chinese is a simple addon selection from within the OS language bar. The other types stated require additional "dlls" available from the OS setup CD and after choosing them the OS automatically requests the installation source CD to enable them from the next boot.

What is the main issue is not whether your desktop enables you to add text in an alternative format from Latin characters rather, the page encoding instructions you place within the Html code. In BV this feature in enabled by right clicking anywhere on the page layout (white space) and choosing "page properties" In the General tab the last dialog box is Character Set with a default value of ISO-8859-1 or simply Latin1. This value may be changed to any viable character set So as to instruct the web browser to display the correct character symbols.

After saving the page and publishing it, the page contains the html instuctions for the browser to display the required character set. IE 6 by default instructs you to install the required character set if it is not detected. The installation by default is an automatic process.

Am working with non latin character sets and have no problems both editing and displaying the information I want on my sites regardless of language.
