You're plan sounds like it might work. What character set are you
planning on using for the webpages? UTF-8 would be a good choice, but
know that even though DW outputs Unicode pages the authoring interface
of DW is not unicode-able. If you are just copy/pasting the characters,
you should be ok. But don't be surprised if they freak out a little on
you. I've been able to make it work with Japanese, but you have to have
a little tolerance. And then, of course, have a Chinese speaker check
the pages when they are online.
If you have trouble you might do better in setting up the pages in DW
and then pasting the text in with a unicode-capable editor. I'm not
sure what programs out there qualify, though.
