Just as the title says, is there anyone going to make a translation program for the website translation?

In my view, I think one of the key feature the program should have is translation from/to non-western characters (such as Chinese characters) ,to/from the #xxxxx number.

That would make things a lot easier. Anyone?

true... but that will require a huuuuuuuuuge list to be implemented... would be good though... Choli?

doesn't frontpage suit your needs?

no. the xxxxx is just the unicode code, so it's quite easy

ehh! why me? j/k

I can adapt the translator, it'd be quite easy, however I haven't time to do it, sorry. Next week I have 3 final exams and haven't still started to study them. Also I have to finish 2 programs I have to do for the Uni (one of them hasn't still got any line of code). (and I have to translate the web page too )

Maybe this summer I'd do it, for future translations. This time, I'm afraid we'd have to translate it using notepad and frontpage.

Frontpage s***s I'll turn to Dreamweaver if it does the job too...if not, I think it would take a week or two (or even longer) before you see Plus! site in Chinese Traditioal

Dreamweaver will sure do. In case it doesn't, try looking for another program, like homesite (<- i think that is its name)

Well, in case it doesn't, I will just write a small VB program that translates Chinese characters to/from &#xxxxx things...it couldn't be very hard as I suppose AscW is what I need.

Why don't you use a text editor which suports PHP, like EditPlus?
I'm using it and it works properly.

Yes, the unicodes itself are, but there are also the many (ansi) entities which use a code not a number.
Example ü = &uuml; and that list is very huge... (and ü is normal ansi, not unicode)

You don't need a PHP-enabled teksteditor, any normal teksteditor will do fine (like notepad). The reason why a translator program would be great is the same reason why "Choli's Translator" is so great: because you have a nice overview of all the keys and their original English text...

maybe because it doesn't handle unicode characters properly

i know, the same with áéíóúñ
but Patchou put #xxxx (with the #) so i thought about unicode numbers.

Well, just tested it, and EditPlus supports Unicode perfectly.

Cookie, you're right. Choli's Translator is so great and it will be very useful to have it for website translation!
So Choli, you know what you have to do!
