Implementin Greek languge to php website

[sharma]

Hi,

I have a application which shows the content in two different languages
English and Russian. It has Languge folder where in it maintains
seperate language folders named English and Russian. The folders of the
respective language contains php file with variables defined with
respective Language entries..

Next.. I would like to Implement The Greek language. I created one
folder by name greek and the contents of the variables are now greek
entries. I translated english entries with babel fish.

Now the problem is:

When I selected the Greek option to show in Greek. My Website is
showing junk and unable to parse the language entries.?

I would like to know the possible cause and how to correct them?. If
any tutorial,refere nces regarding Multi language implementation of
websites with PHP is appreciable.

Thanks in Advance,

Assuming your browser has Greek support (does it?), you probably
forgot to adjust character set heading. English is usually
rendered with a header setting like this:

header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1');

Sometimes, 'Latin-1' or 'windows-1252' can be used as well.

Russian has several character sets, the most common of which
is Windows-1251:

header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=windows-1251');

So if you want to render Greek, you must send an appropriate
"Content-Type:" header:

header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-7');

The only rule you need to follow is this: headers must be
sent before any output. If anything (as much as a single
carriage return) gets output before the header() call,
you will get the "Headers already sent" error.

Then the header() call should be early in the header file...
