Yeah - thanks Lisa. On-Call Interpreters did mention this specifically in

Hi everyone, I'm new to this group and this is my first post.
I'd like to re-iterate a previously mentioned comment as I think it's
extremely important:
it may seem obvious, but in the experience I have had, the word docs
supplied by your translation company must use the Unicode font too. I would
The charge was based on a per 100 English words basis - and different
languages had different rates - so my quote probably won't help you much
anyway (unless you're asking about the same number of words translated into
the same languages) - but they both emailed back quotes promptly, so maybe

Just to repeat what I was saying before, be really careful with the word
docs. you really need to have one of the translators proof the text on

We've approached On-Call Interpreters in Melbourne and Precision Languages

I know that SBS (TV) offer a translation service for Websites. I am
assuming (dangerous thing to do) that they could also advise on
character encoding issues.
Might be worth giving them a call.

Hi Jason
We had a similar requirement last year. The cost of translating and

Jason,
haven't got direct experience in doing this, but my gut feeling would be
to encode everything in unicode (UTF-8) as it should cover most
character sets required. You'll need the translated bits of text
provided as unicode as well, to place within your document.
Does that make sense?

Personally, I think the best approach is still Flash Satay:
