Hi and thank you for reading bellow,

I am trying to figure out how to encode on Dreamweaver my French version of my website

<snip>

My computer crashed down recently and I did reinstall Microsoft XP as well new version of Dreamweaver 8. When I go to my website now they are some hieroglyph on the French version. I tried to change the fonts into French but still problems. I also tried the help of dreamweaver, which I found not helpful at all.

Is anyone that could help on this to give me the instruction I need?

Thank in advance
Oliver

Firstly, welcome to WebmasterWorld.

Secondly, read the ToS as the site doesn't allow links to be dropped in threads or sites to be identified.

Thirdly, and without looking at your site, I would guess that the problem would be either in the language encoding that you have in the html or head portion of your page.

Those would be the bits that go:
<html lang="en">
and
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
for example.

Do you have accents in the code, by any chance? (You shouldn't have.) To get around this paste the text into the design window and not into the code window.

Either that, or you have a problem with your browser settings.
