Hi, I have been asked to put up a russian version of a site ive done. To get the russian characters to display properly is it just a case of changing the charset in the html header? Thanks

If you're pulling the text from a database you might also need to look at the character set its being saved to in there.

Nope, just the html on the page.

There's a cool babel fish tool that I kinda like:

http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish/tr?doit=done&url=http://www.ratemypub.ie&lp=en_ru

just put in your link instead of mine!

Puts a stupid header bar at the top but it's quick and easy if that's what you're looking for!
