    Posted: 26 November 2006 at 8:38pm
I don't know much about the translation or displaying of different lanuages of web pages so I figure I would post here.

I have a customer that wants to display this English web site in Chinese (standard). Neither of us know Chinese and was wondering if there is a code or something on the server that will display the OUTPUT of the web page in Chinese. The code and web page (for maintence would still be in English. But when the web site visitor requests the site in Chinese, the server or web page will serve it up as Chinese. The visitor would have to have the Chinese standard fonts installed.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

There is nothing in any web server that will convert English to Chinese.

You can display latin characters as chinese characters, but as maddog pointed out... converting the character set isn't the same as translating the page.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

Use a Content-Type meta tag to set the character set. w3schools has info on metatags.
You'll also probably want to set a chinese LCID to handle dates and currency. Borg has lcid codes posted in his ASP FAQ's section.
