I suppose you do not mean dynamic / server side conversion, but text
preparation only.
You can use MS Internet Explorer 5.0:
-Load the text
-Select codepage, so that the text displays properly
View - Encoding - More ---
-Save the UNICODE text file:
Save as - Encoding:UTF-8
> 3) How do I mark text as UTF-8?
If you can not configure the server to include the appropriate HTTP
header info, you can instead / in addition use the following META-tag in
the HTML code:
<HEAD>
<META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
</HEAD>
> 4) Will people actually be able to SEE BOTH the Japanese AND the Turkish?
If fonts with the required repertoire are installed, they will! (Mozilla
/ Netscape 6.0 requires no more preparations -- it will pick
subtitutions from the avalable fonts.)
If the HTML-text is language-tagged -- and the browser correctly
configured, the text may be displayed in correct font styles. (Japanese,
not Chinese.)
A page which contains both Japanese and Esperanto, in UTF-8 and with
language tags:
