[thelist] translating a website into Nepali

 I thought I would be able to just copy and paste the actual text. What they
did for me with the Rwandan language was send me a paragraph by paragraph
translation, so I copied and pasted it.
It just occurred to me that I should ask them to send me some sample text
from this language so I can play with it.

Thanks Fred and Barry!

These won't handle the actual translation to Nepalese... :) Sounds very not
simple from where I'm sitting!

Hi All,
 
I am being asked to translate a site I have done into Nepalese, or Nepali,
or whatever it's called. This will be a different character set, of course,
so can someone point me to a place to see what is involved with this? 
 
I have been able to copy and paste french and spanish letters with accents
and/or use the ASCII code for them. 
 
Is it as simple as using the correct DTD and charset? Maybe I won't be able
to do this translation?
 
 
Thanks
Nan
