What Should I Know and Consider To Create Multi Language Web Site

Question

I\'m Creating a Multi Language website with at least 5 language, what should I consider

Answer 1

When I developed bi-directional web applications, I found the following practices helped too much:

To make your page as easy to globalize as possible, follow these best practices:

❑ Avoid using absolute positioning and sizes for controls.

❑ Use the entire width and height of forms.

❑ Size elements relative to the overall size of the form.

❑ Use a separate table cell for each control.

❑ Avoid enabling the NoWrap property in tables.

❑ Avoid specifying the Align property in tables.

• As a general tip, I found using tables instead of just DIVs is very helopful.
