Default How to develop a website in Japanese... Argh!

Hey there,

I'm trying to develop my first japanese (I'm european) using dreamweber, copying/pasting some texts I already hace in a word document. My surprise when I try to paste them on DW they appear as a long string of "?".

How can I correct that? I have also tried with Notepad and UTF-8 encoding, with no better luck.

Anybody can help?

Thanks !

Ivan

Before your keywords and metadata, put something like this in the code:

Quote:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//ja""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"><html dir="ltr" lang="ja"><META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Language" content="ja" charset="UTF-8" language="Japanese">
dir="ltr"
Is not necessary, but make sure you have at least:
<html lang="ja"><META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Language" content="ja" charset="UTF-8" language="Japanese">

Don't know the program you're using (Dreamweaver? it'll work in that), but if you have JP text enabled on your OS you should definitely see the characters in a text editor. What OS are you using?

Even if you can't see it on your hard drive, publish it to a site to test it in your browser.

Hope this helps.

Use JEdit and set it to UTF-8 output. It works beautifully on windoze and it also can publish via ftp or sftp.

I have tried changing the enconding (which I had already done in several ways) and no luck when editing in Dreamweber (It's ok with wordpad but I have some problems splitting lines since I don't know where you can and where you can't split them ).

I'll give a shot to JEdit

Thanks !
