Multi-language Web site design, if French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, Arabic and so when. But there is a problem but it is highly susceptible to website designers ignored. This is the site of the character sets problem. General we use the simplified Chinese (GB2312) character set, while the multi-language Web site, the Chinese character set might make you hard efforts fall short. So that your product can not be foreign customers to use other languages in the search engine search! The reason is simple: is this unassuming little character sets are at play.
Computer applications in dozens of different from each other there is a character set, and different language clients when browsing the web in different languages, often because of the character set used between each other incompatibility situation appears garbled. We visit some foreign websites, they often also appear to be able to properly see the information on the site had to switch back and forth between various character sets of circumstances.
Imagine: If a site provides Chinese, English, French, German and other languages versions of the content, the content of the whole of it all, the design of great beauty. We are in the Chinese view of these non-coding environment, the Chinese version of the page that was perfect, now a French customers became interested in your product, and when he looked into the French layout, lots of garbage, or even a collapse in the entire layout is stupid . Your site and then make great efforts, what is the point?
Therefore, the provision of a multi-language version of the web sites, utf-8 character set should be the best choice. It is a double-byte character set encoding mechanism, whether Eastern or Western text written in utf-8 in all with two bytes, which can be defined at least 65,536 different characters, almost covering the world At present, all the common language of each character. Therefore, the design and development of multi-language Web site, be sure to pay attention to first page of non-Chinese character set is defined as "utf-8" format.
Trade Website This step is very important because if the other pages do change the character set after set, can be a very thankless job, and sometimes may need to start all over again, to re-enter the site's text content.
Written in the language used in some countries is from right to left, for example, used by many in the Middle East in Arabic, Persian and Hebrew, etc.. If your target market is the language of the country, then the website design needs to consider these special language writing habits. And if you design the site navigation structure is used in a vertical navigation bar, this time you should put it on the right, not as we used on the left as a.
Like the United States and Europe people like simple, South Korea, domestic customers like appearance, we were not on the basis of beautiful complex, a set of templates meet the needs of domestic and foreign customers.
