asp.net 2.0 multilanguage website issue

[schneider]

Hi all,

I'm planning to create a multilanguage-capable website in asp.net 2.0,
using c#. I have read some very nice articles about
internationalization and localization. A common hint is using a
database as source for articles and other text. How do you treat more
complex articles which are normally formatted in html (paragraphs, bold
or italic styles, font sizes, alignments, etc)? Do I have to save the
entire html source code to the database (which makes it hard for a
translator with no knowledge of html to translate)? Are there other
possibilities? Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Cheers, Hannes

You have to have some idea of formatting, at least in the breaks. that can
be done with standard ASCII 10, 13 or 13/10 or with mark up. As long as it
is just paragraphs, that is enough. If you need different header levels, you
will need some mark up.

One option to storing HTML is to use an editor liek FCKEditor on a page and
have the person mark up the page.
