Arabic Website

Sketch · 10-22-2009, 01:05 AM

Hi guys,

I have a website smsglobal.com which I have just translated into Arabic.

It works fine in IE which is great, but it doesn't work in Firefox.

It comes up with random code, does anyone know what I'm doing wrong.

http://www.smsglobal.com/ar-ae/compa..._directors.php

That's a sample page.

However, http://www.smsglobal.com/ar-ae/ works in both? (Only difference is it's a HTML page, not PHP)

Did you set the content-language correctly for the PHP page? The PHP page link which you have given no longer works, so I could not take a look at it,

This may or may not work, but replace;

Code:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

with

Code:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1256">

I believe so. The site is back up now, not sure why you couldn't access it.

Code:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="ar">

I tried to add that to this page and it didn't work.

I did a little bit of testing and noticed that PHP needed the correct headers defined.

Adding this code to the site got it working.

Code:

<?php
	header('Content-language: ar');
	header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8');
?>
