Speaking of web page translations, I'm going to be getting copy decks of
a web page[1] translated into six different languages. I'm on the right
start by having the lines in my html code as specified in the email
below. :-)
Now, to do the side nav (all I have so far), I had fun(!) because
Dreamweaver doesn't render the characters of the Chinese, Japanese, and
Korean languages. They show up as squares.
Does anyone have a suggestions as to what other app I can use to code
the translated pages in? I would think some thing with support for more
characters? Anyone have any suggestions (hopefully free)?
Also, any idea how I can have the ALT attributes and the title bar show
these characters as well in the browser? Or does that have to do with
the user's computer & fonts installed?

Tom,
Here's what I think you need in your code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; lang="XX" xml:lang="XX"> <head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
You can also add
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="XX" />
