Localization questions

2002-10-02 Thread Kevin Gilchrist

Hi,

We may need to provide an extranet CF 5.0 app to a Japanese client so I
was wondering if any of you out there have had experience of using CF in
a multi-byte character environment.

Specifically:

- we're using Oracle and while we need to create a new Oracle database
with the right character sets do we need a new client, i.e. not the
English client,  on the CF server?
- will CF correctly spit out Japanese characters from a CFQUERY?  (
assuming we specify the character set for the client browser in the
meta(?) tag on each page).
- would life be simpler moving to CFMX seeing as it's Java-based and
therefore uses Unicode?

Thanks,
Kevin
