Huadong Gai	Tuesday 10 August 2004 1:33:33 pm I followed the documentation and set up a multi-language site: http://localhost/en for English and http://localhost/cn for Chinese. When I access the Chinese site http://localhost/cn, the brower charset is always set utf-8. But I would like to set it to GB2312 or other simplified chinese charset by default. Most of my users will be using Chinese version of a web browser. I do not want them to change the browser charset everytime. How to do this for eZ Publish 3.4? Thanks in advance.

The browser will figure out the charset itself. ( Unless they have locked the browser to a specific charset ) --bård Documentation: http://ez.no/doc
Huadong Gai	Wednesday 11 August 2004 9:18:29 am Thanks for your quick response. I read and followed that document you provide. I wonder whether I should change the header file (where is it) from <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> to something like <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=gb2312" /> Will this work? Where is the header file for 3.4? When I view my site, the default charset encoding is always UTF-8 unless I manully set to something else. When I view a Chinese site using the same browser, the charset encoding is GB2312. So I think the problem is not with the browser but with the site. What do you think?
