OK, I need to create a web site in 3 languages . . . English, Spanish, Portuguese. The translations will be done for me. I was wondering, when coding the page, do I need to use HTML entities for the special characters in this language? Or, is there an easier way to do this?

Also, do I need to implement a specific doctype for the other languages?

that's it
thanks!

If everything is encoded using UTF-8 you shouldn't need to do anything differently for the different languages.

Hello,

i'm agree with E-oreo , you need to encoding by using UTF-8 for different language.

Regards

OK, my accented letters don't appear properly
OK, my header looks has this code:
Code:
<!DOCTYPE html>  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="es">  <meta charset="UTF-8" />


And in the navigation, I have the following text, "OTIZACIÓN"

Unfortunately, the "Ó" and other Spanish letters with accents, show a diamond icon where these letters are supposed to be.

The site has a bit of Spanish text, and I don't want to comb through and apply HTML entities throughout the site.

Is there a way I can cut and paste the text into a page for the web, without having to implement HTML entities for every special character? This could save me a day of work.

thanks

Make sure that your editor is configured to save the file in UTF-8.

Just figured it out
OK, I'm using BBEdit, which I really like. I have to save my document as "Unicode UTF-8, no BOM" and everything is working properly for the Spanish text.

Thanks for the previous comments.

I hope this helps others.
