I am translating my site into a number of languages (European). Somehoe all those nice little tails & tildes look good when I forst pout them in, but they end up coming out junk in due course.<br />
<br />
I am using Dreamweaver MX in OSX to buiold the site. I have one page that is pristine, I cut and paste it into others, they end up getting messed up.<br />
<br />
Looks ugly. <br />
<br />
I use CSS. My default font is Arial.<br />

<!--content-->For your page to actually be valid you MUST declare the character encoding (lets the browser know whether to use A to Z letters (latin), or Chinese, Japanese, Thai, or Arabic script, or some other character set) used for the page, with something like:<br />
<br />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"><br />
<br />
There are also other schemes such as UTF-8 and many others.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It is also a good idea to declare what language the page is in, using:<br />
<br />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="EN-GB"><br />
<br />
The language and country codes come from ISO 4217 and ISO 3166. This is useful for online translation tools as well. Change the "en" and "gb" to whatever language and country you need.<!--content-->
