Nothing difficult. But one thing you need to pay attention to is the
character set of each homepage. Don't use the English character set for
Chinese pages, or some browsers will not act correctly. Good luck!

We've been asked to facilitate getting Chinese and Spanish translations
of an
extensive online orientation for new students (including a short quiz)
on the
college website. Spanish will pose no particular problems, but I'm a bit
worried
about the Chinese translation.

I'm hoping that some of you will be able to suggest the best way to plan
this.
Here's what we know so far:

*We will be given the Chinese translation of each page of the website in
Microsoft Word format. (traditional characters) (Those that will be
doing the
translations, do not make web pages.)
*We will be using Dreamweaver to make the web pages. Unfortunately,
those making
the web pages do not know Chinese!
*There are some text boxes  that will need to have Chinese characters
appear in
them. (This is a quiz that has the multiple choice responses in a text
box. The
user clicks on the correct answers to respond.)

So, (after experimenting with the 3 characters that I know) we're
planning to
cut and paste from the word document into the pages in Dreamweaver.

Any  tips, suggestions, warnings? Any and all help will be appreciated.
