everurssantosh Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hi, I am trying to show five different languages in my website. I am not using any other tool to achieve this task. Basically, I have stored the all language values in a language file. While in my pages, I include the language page and call the language varriables. I manage the languge value like english, spanish etc in my session varriable. My problem is: There are some spcial characters in languages like italian, german for example : è,á ,ó ,Nº ,ñ etc and these are not shown properly in my browser. It shows like a sqare box which makes the complete sentense not readable and looks ugly. I think we need to install some kind of package in the client browser in order to show these special characters!! but honestly speaking, I have no idea how to solve it. Any help in this regard is higly appritiated !!

DoddsAntS Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Hi, All you need to do is tell the browser what character set you are using, you can do that through meta tags or define the language and encoding in the document.
