I don't know much about the translation or displaying of different lanuages of web pages so I figure I would post here.

I have a customer that wants to display this English web site in Chinese (standard). Neither of us know Chinese and was wondering if there is a code or something on the server that will display the OUTPUT of the web page in Chinese. The code and web page (for maintence would still be in English. But when the web site visitor requests the site in Chinese, the server or web page will serve it up as Chinese. The visitor would have to have the Chinese standard fonts installed.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

Next to impossible. There are websites claims to be able to do translation, however, the results just laughable.

I would suggest trying altavista's bablefish
definitely not the best by any means, but probably the only option

hire a real Chinese translator(not dude with computer who says he/she speaks Chinese...), and someone to code that.

Only way.

I've I create a web page form (CMS) and have them enter the content, will the Chinese characters get saved?
