MORE INFORMATION

To set up a multilingual web in FrontPage Explorer, follow these steps:

1. Set up the default home page in the <Root Web>.



2. Create a subweb for each language you want.



3. Set the default language property and HTML encoding for each subweb, using the following steps:
   
   
   1. On the Tools menu, click Web Settings.
   
   
   
   2. Click the Language tab.
   
   
   
   3. In the Default Web Language drop-down list, select the language you want to use.
   
   
   
   4. In the Default HTML Encoding drop-down list, select the type of HTML encoding you want. Click Apply.
   
   
   
   5. Click OK.
   
   
   



4. If your FrontPage web is hosted on a supported UNIX web server, you are done. If not, use step 5.



5. From the FrontPage CD, find the \frontpg\misc directory. Note that there are 5 *.msg files there, one for each language other than English. Add the desired (or all) *.msg file to the <frontpageroot>\version3.0\bin directory for FP98.
