Language support

[dimitri]

Hi,
Is it possible to write text (in the edit mode) in a language
other than english? When I write text in Greek language, it is incoherent, but when I preview it in the browser it appears OK.
Any help please here?

Thanks for replying.
However, I think, what is needed in this case are language plug ins. Evrosoft 2000 is not a multiligual programm. A multilaguage programm supports other languages than english, like french, german, chinese etc...

Hi my friend.

Try this thread (http://developers.evrsoft.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=103) to see if there is something that will help you.
I had a similar problem with Czech characters - maybe there is a similar solution for Greek.

YEEEESSSS,
It works...
I can write in Greek in the edit window, and in the preview
window all Greek text is displayed corectly.

Many thanks,
Dimitri

Great! Glad it works.

That's what we're here for!

FP will use multiple foreign language dictionaries (For example I use a British spelling dictionary so that I don't have to deal with the horrible mess the Yanks have made of the language :D ). However, after checking through the list of ones available it is no joy on Greek. For folks who are interested, dictionaries that are available for NoteTab also work in 1st Page.

Please tell me how to use the British spelling. I'm getting a tad ticked with the refusal to read the word colour. When I say I want the bgcolour to be black, then I want the colour to be black. I don't want to keep stepping my brain down to a yank clockspeed whenever I'm working on a website. :-}

Unfortunately, the guys who wrote html were American, and their spelling prevails in that area.

You can use correct (British) spelling in the text of your site, but not, I am grieved to say, in the tags.

You can (and ought to always) write symbols using HTML's character entities. A good WYSIWYG chart can be found at http://roselli.org/adrian/articles/character_charts.asp.

David,

"Foreign" characters are not symbols. The majority of them is Unicode characters. Were you suggesting that folks like me (Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Khmer ... and even French) enter those "foreign symbols" one at at time, peeking and poking from a character chart?!

Sigh...
