1995 called, they want their language-specific text encoding schemes back. :) Just set it to Unicode, and it will work for absolutely everything, no browser fiddling required. Every other forum I post on — even non-language ones — works fine with any language, including Japanese.

Unicode does weird things all the time, such as displaying Chinese/Japanese characters as ??? or displaying French as random Chinese characters. A great example is that all the bullets turned into question marks on the side with Unicode encoding. I don't think it's the solution. Maybe setting a Chinese + Japanese subforum in Unicode would be a good idea though.

There aren't that many Italian posts either, and the Spanish posts overwhelm both of them anyway. Perhaps there could be a subforum for Spanish and another for "Other Romance Languages". 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

That only happens if the page header lies and the text isn't really Unicode, so your web browser gets confused. If the page declares Unicode and the text is actually stored and sent in Unicode, there's no problem. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

In that case, this site isn't in Unicode. And if we want Unicode, we would have to convert this site to Unicode. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Gentlemen, I propose that we give a try to the language subforums idea. We can't have one subforum for each language learned on this forum though. Here is my idea:
Target language subforums -Spanish -French -Other Romance languages -Mandarin & other Chinese languages -German -Slavic languages -Other asian languages Please do let me know what you think before I can implement it. Thanks. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

I would personally prefer one subforum for all non-English threads, but organized mainly with long threads like those in existence now (sorry for saying almost the same thing both here and in this thread).
If you do create several subforums, then every possible language should be covered. Spanish is so common here that it may need a separate subforum, but otherwise it would be better only with subforums for (other) Romance languages Germanic languages other Indoeuropean languages Chinese, Korean, Japanese Other languages Edited by Iversen on 22 August 2006 at 3:42pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
