Michel Houtermans	Wednesday 01 September 2004 5:05:33 am I have a question about the following. I want to make a website in the English luanguage but I want to allow articles in Russion or Chineees. Is there any problem to mix a characterset like that? Is there anything particular that I should pay attention too?
Tony Wood	Wednesday 01 September 2004 6:22:10 am Hi, You will need to use a UTF-8 database so you can store the Unicode characters you will need to allow Russian and Chineese. I would suggest MySQL >4.1.3 or PostgreSQL. The site setup is straighforward. http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/configuration/configuration/language_and_charset/how_to_setup_a_multilingual_site http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/configuration/configuration/language_and_charset/unicode_with_ez_publish Good luck Tony Wood : twitter.com/tonywood Vision with Technology Experts in eZ Publish consulting & development Power to the Editor!

But still works to setup translations of individual articles, it's just not that very well explained anywhere. Will add in to another thread here how to list your translations which I troubled with for a while. Plus it is not made to have the site in English and have articles that do not exist in English in other languages. Sure can find a workaround for that but it's a thing to have in mind - no non-english if there isn't an english version. Kjell Knudsen http://www.icbl.org
