Hi
I'm building an globalized application (english, swedish and russian
languages) and have a few questions:
1. In order to see the russian characters correct I have to set the
requestEncoding and responseEncoding to windows-1251. Is this correct?

2. Now I set the requestEncoding and responseEncoding in the web.config
file, but since I only have one web.config it only works for either english
and swedish (utf-8 encoding) or just russian (windows-1251 encoding). So I
guess I'm doing something wrong here, but what?

3. I could set the culture an uiCulture to the Thread when I click each
language link, which looks quite nice, but is this the way to do it?

I really would appreciate some help...

Hi,

Answer 1:
Yes, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows-1251

Answer 2:
Correct, you can add this inside the web.config or in each page.
Chech this:

Answer 3:
You can do this inside the global.asax file.
Inside the method Application_BeginRequest.
Check autoculture:

Hope this helps,
Arjen

Thanks for your answers. Though I still have some problems.
1. Should I use any specific font?

2. When I try to run my application in the russian language I have to set
the requestEncoding, responseEncoding and fileEncoding in the web.config
file, to have the text displayed correct. Since I have different pages for
every language I would like to set this properties on a page level. In ASP
..NET 1.1 only responeseEncoding could be set in the Page directive. How
should this be done in the best way?

I don't know about the font.

You can also use resource files.
Each resource file will be a language file.
Then you only need one webpage.
Inside the global.asax file you set the language, culture and encoding type.
The webpage automaticly reads the correct resource file.

Hope this helps,
Arjen

Thanks Arjen, for your answers.
I did it in an other way. Every russian page I save in signed unicode
(UTF-8) format, both resx-files and cs-files. In that way all my charcters
were saved in a correct way, and I didn't had to change the requestEncoding
and responseEncoding in the web-config-file.
