Website in German.

[vasilek]

Hi, I need to make copy of a website in German. What do I do with text - it has special charachters? Should I encode them or there is a better way?

Thanks.

Encoding is still the most correct way. There aren't much special characters in German (7-8), so there shouldn't be a problem.

FYI some well known sites (

http://de.yahoo.com,

http://www.pro7.de)

don't use char entity encoding, unicode stuff or even META hints.

I have the copy done. So it will be probably a good idea to choose to go with Unicode and just copy and paste and do not waste the time on encoding special chars.

I think that this META tag will allow the page handle Unicode, right?

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">


Thank you.
