Seeking Advice on Multi-Language website design
Hi all,
I am designing a web site for a test centre in South Asia.
The broad overview of the web site:- Web site should be dynamic and support multi-languages (mainly south Asian)
- Content managers should be able to choose the language and able to create/edit the content (Question and Answers).
- Students should be able to choose the exam in their language (i.e. Hindi, Punjabi, Gujrati)
- And all basic features like Profile, forum, notice broad, news etc etc.
As I have not worked on multi-language web site before so I have few questions regarding the design:- Do I have to have a Rich-Text editor for content managers to upload the content?
- Should I use Language font’s or Unicode chars in this editor?
- How should I store the content in the Database (Unicode/Binary)?
- Shall I display the content in Unicode or raw data specifying language fonts?
- If fonts are not available in students pc/laptop, do they have to download the fonts?
- Is there any way of dynamically downloading the fonts? (@font-face url (xyz))
I shall be using following technologies on the website:
HTML, AJAX, PHP, MySQL 5x (UTF-8, binary supported)
I appreciate all your comments and time.
If possible can some body provide the examples or web links of same work.
Thanks in advance.
