I am looking to develop a set of databases that can handle international character
sets. For example, I want to have menu items that can be changed on the fly from,
say, English to Japanese to German to Chinese.
Should I create a table that correlates each language with a UNICODE set? And then
create a table where each row is for a specific language and the columns being the
individual entries? After that, can I use a lookup into the first table based on the
key of the second table to determine what type of UNICODE character-set it is.
(sorry, I am typing out load as it were ;) ).
Or can UNICODE determine automatically what character-set an entry belongs to -- ie,
the character-set is implicit to the data. I am rather new to all of this and still
try to wrap m' poo' brain around all of this.
Thanks in advance,
Ward
