Frontpage in other languages

S

Steve Freides

I suspect this isn't the right newsgroup - please point me elsewhere as
appropriate.

I am a PC database developer who's comfortable enough in FrontPage and
in HTML to maintain a few web sites. I need to develop a site, for
which I will likely create most of the content myself, in Hebrew, to be
displayed on a .il web site. Can I use FrontPage on my otherwise
American XP machine to do this? If so, what, if anything, do I need to
do? I believe I've already installed something Hebrew-specific because
most .il web pages display correctly on my machine.

I am currently using FrontPage 2002 SP3, which, if it's not the latest,
is something I can easily upgrade to the latest.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Steve:
You'll probably want your HTML tag to be <html lang="he"> and include this
meta tag: <meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="he"> - the FP spell
checker should work better for you and identifying the language will help
with search engines.

HTH,

Thanks very much for your prompt reply, Kathleen. I have a few simple
questions - how, e.g., do I input Hebrew, as opposed to English? I've
never done this before and have never used either Frontpage or any word
processing program in another language - I guess some of my questions
are rather general to the nature of using a second language on an XP
machine but I don't know how is that and how much is FP-specific.

Hi Steve:
I don't know how you would actually input the text - I've been doing some
pages in Spanish -
http://www.cthealthpolicy.org/action/news/200406_espanol.htm but I got the
text from my customer in Word and just pasted it into FrontPage.

I do see a group on this server called:
microsoft.public.il.hebrew.webdevelopers you might try asking there.

I just looked up this newsgroups - it's on my news server but it's very
low traffic, perhaps a couple of dozen messages all year. Still, I hope
it works out.

Thanks again for you assistance.
