I have a user that has a couple questions regarding the languages that DNN supports. I have not worked with multiple languages before so I couldn't answer them.

1. Does DNN support language fonts/characters for Spanish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Cantonese, Hmong, Korean, and Amharic? (I think the user just wants to have one page presented in different languages, not browser localization)
2. Are there bandwidth or server space issues to consider if we want to have a clinic page available in several languages?

Thanks for your assistance.

Brian

Brian,

you should definately use UTF-8, which contains characters for all languages. Fonts need to be installed on client computers however, but you can usually presume them to be available today.

I am not aware of bandwidth specific issues of having a multilingual page in comparison to single language portals.

Here is how we have our globalization setup in our web.config.

<globalization culture="en-US" uiCulture="en" requestEncoding="UTF-8" responseEncoding="UTF-8" fileEncoding="UTF-8" />

Is this correct to support these languages or is there another change that I need to make?

Thanks,
Brian
