I am looking to develop a set of databases that can handle international
character sets. For example, I want to have menu items that can be changed on
the fly from, say, English to Japanese to German to Chinese.
Should I create a table that correlates each language with a UNICODE set? And
then create a table where each row is for a specific language and the columns
being the individual entries? After that, can I use a lookup into the first
table based on the key of the second table to determine what type of UNICODE
character-set it is. (sorry, I am typing out load as it were ;) ).
Or can UNICODE determine automatically what character-set an entry belongs to
-- ie, the character-set is implicit to the data. I am rather new to all of
this and still try to wrap m' poo' brain around all of this.
Thanks in advance,
Ward
