Change language

Some websites require encoding for special characters to be displayed properly in a Browser depending on what language you are posting on the Internet.

 

  1. To specify encoding, select the Tools menu

  2. Select Language and the preferred language.

Note: If you are not sure what encoding to select, you can test it by looking at your page after you change the language selection. If your special characters don't appear properly, try a different language setting.

If the language you want is not available in the list, you can select Add more...

Enter the Charset identifier and click OK.
