Hello All,
I'm actually working on translating my website into Arabic, in order to make it work along side English language.
I want to have English/Arabic website. and I understood how I use the categories in order to acheive the idea of Multi-Lingual website using Categories. [ I found a tutorial about this in vivvo.net ].
We all know that translating to Arabic is causing problems, and I followed the steps mentioned by a user here in this post :
http://www.vivvo.net/forums/showthread.php?t=4483
but eventually it didn't work well, i seen the phpMyadmin and I changed the coding in operations to " utf8_general_ci".. in order to make it work well. >> but still the website is not working well with arabic charcters.
So, at the end I fix it by forcing the web browser to load the website in 'Windows-1256' encoding. and I did that by editing to the .htaccsess file in the root of my website, and adding this line to the end of the file:
AddDefaultCharset windows-1256
.. and then it worked.
My question is:
- Is there any problem using that way? i mean adding that line to the end of .htaccess file? is it okay, no problems caused by that later?
- Well english language work well if the browser is forced to load the web page in 'windows-1256' encoding.. is it going to work well with english very well like it works with arabic?
======
Now this part about the multi-lingual website.
So the main website language is ARABIC, the second language is ENGLISH.
The html tag <title> of the home page, is written in arabic by default.
since i have an english website (secondry language)
i need to have also an html tag <title> for that language...
My question is.. how to do that??
- How to give title for the homepage of the english secondry language (english)??
- How google will find my website, and seprate english/arabic sites??
