RE: FN-FORUM Language conversion when in ASP

Yep, done several multi-lingual sites (english/welsh). There's various
ways depending on how far you want to take it.

(1) Simply put a language field in your database tables that may have
multi-lingual data in them and specify that in your select statements.
That's fine so long as you don't have mutli-lingual graphics cos then
you need to do;
(2) Specify in your ASP which language to display (just as you would any
ASP page that gets built dynamically) using option (1) above

(3) The proper way is to separate your Data and presentation and use
XML/XSL to have the page layout and page content separated.

Check out www.sgorio.tv (assuming we can get our database back up and
running after SP3 patching...)

Cheers
Andy

Subject: FN-FORUM Language conversion when in ASP


Does anyone know of a way to translate ASP pages as they are built on
the server, such that they arrive at the users browser in the desired
language ?

For example, the ASP pages are built in English, they retrieve English
content from a database but present this to the user in another
language, say Spanish, or French
