browser charset or lang: simple problem, please help.

Tuesday 10 August 2004 1:33:33 pm

I followed the documentation and set up a multi-language site: http://localhost/en for English and http://localhost/cn for Chinese.

When I access the Chinese site http://localhost/cn, the brower charset is always set utf-8. But I would like to set it to GB2312 or other simplified chinese charset by default. Most of my users will be using Chinese version of a web browser. I do not want them to change the browser charset everytime. How to do this for eZ Publish 3.4?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your quick response. I read and followed that document you provide.

I wonder whether I should change the header file (where is it) from

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

to something like

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=gb2312" />

Will this work? Where is the header file for 3.4?

When I view my site, the default charset encoding is always UTF-8 unless I manully set to something else. When I view a Chinese site using the same browser, the charset encoding is GB2312. So I think the problem is not with the browser but with the site.

What do you think?
