English Website to Japanese website.

[Duck]

Hi guys,

So im doing a bit of research for a website that needs to have a Japanese language section.

I already got the character sets to work however it seems that now that i have set my page to be encoded in SHIFT_JIS.

It appears that my page however is struggling with the encoding type and isnt loading any external css or js.

My css & html (http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?p=766673#post766673)
My javascript (http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=152011)

Thanks,
Dlate.

I did a site in chinese and found it better to use images rather then text.
The problem with text is that if the client that views your site hasn't got the same characterset the text will be scrambled.
For the chinese text i found a great tool that can build pictures from any given chinese text.
I don't know if there's something similar for Japanese.

cheers, i got help from a guy on irc that told me to use utf-8 code as it has everything in it, and now it works and prolly works with all packs as well.

Yeah images is a good idea as well but the site uses our own build cms system so implementation would be really tricky as well as text not being able to get altered.
