    Hi,

    I've downloaded a free html web template for my web site, but it display only English language and when I type the other language, say Thai, in notepad, it rendered as ????????????????.

    How can I have it displayed in Thai.

    Sorry for my Bad English.

    Depends on if you are talking about rendering it in notepad or rendering it in HTML.

    To make languages, such as "Thai" in notepad, when you are prompted to save it there is a location under the filetype asking for encoding type, it is defaultly UTF-8 and to make it render most things you can change it to UNISEF, or something similiar.

    Thanks for response

    I want the html file display Thai in web browsers. It renders ????????? wherever I replace the Thai text for English Text.

    I know very basic HTML, but I know how to modify the template.

    You are either going to have to write with "HTML CODES" or find and develope a
    special server hack. Here is a website that converts THAI letters into HTML codes.

    If you wanted to take this one-step-further you could always filter everything posted on your website through
    an .htaccess filter to automatically change the code and everything for you, but personally I would have no
    idea on how to do such a task because I don't know your current website setup.

    Million thanks,

    It's the plain html website, http://www.siriwanpillow.com/.

    It's not yet finished modifications.

    I think I have to do Google research on how to do this .htaccess filter thing.

    Your navigation bar on the top-left doesn't seem to be working, or at least not in MSIE.
    You also have catagories like "MODELS > SHOES" linking to pillow types, needs work.

    Another thing I noticed is on your home page you are linking to a page with a ".LPG" extention which should be ".JPG" as I can assume.

    I wish you good luck with your business!

    You must create their own web pages for language thailand
    but I was also puzzled to explain

    I found a lot easier solution.

    Use character set as utf-8 like this:<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

    and choose Encoding as UTF-8 when save it with notepad text editor.

    I was un aware that traditional UTF-8 was able to handle letters that were not of the Latin corrispondant.
