I'm currently working on a site where I've been asked to build multilingual support in terms of accepting foreign characters in inputs and properly render foreign chars in text . The main concern is that the database that pull all data for this site is using ISO8859-1 as charset (Oracle 10G). Unfortunately it's not possible in the short time to convert the database to utf-8. Is it still possible to successfully setup a site supporting foreign chars with webpages encoded as utf-8 but having a database using ISO8859-1. What should I think of in getting this to work. For example do I need to convert between charsets when users submit html form data? What possible problems will I encounter and what should I think of in getting this to work
Many thanks
