Hi, everyone. does anyone has experience bulid a web site which contains multilanguage sush as Chinese or Japanese? I am building a web site by using Dreamweaver, it is no problem when I preview it in Safari or Firefox. However, it become something like this "��鳩B角" unusual code after I upload it to the server.
Here is the example link I did : http://www.endlesscreative.com/chinese.htm

Thanks everyone.

It looks like perhaps you saved the file as a UTF-8 file (or an ISO-8859-1 file, perhaps), and the encoding doesn't match the encoding specified in your header (i.e., Big5).

If you're going to mix CJK and non-CJK content, your best best will be to use UTF-8 consistently throughout the whole site.

It might also, of course, be the case that Dreamweaver sucks at CJK support, I've never tried. By handcoding the pages, you can make sure that it works.

When you say it's no problem when you “preview in Safari or Firefox”, do you mean via Dreamweaver's built-in preview function, or by opening the file on your hard drive in Safari/Firefox? If the latter, then the problem could also be that you've uploaded the file as a binary where it shouldn't be (or vice versa) in FTP.

yea, it is no problem when I preview in Safari or firefox that Dreamweaver's built-in preview function and opening the file on my hard drive in Safari/Firefox.
I change encoding as UTF-8 in page properties and it's still not working at all
So how can I fix this problem??

Sounds like an upload-problem then. Do you use Dreamweavers built-in FTP?
