Where can I get more information about building international web sites?
How can I set the language and char sets in the META HTTP-EQUIV directives?

I haven't looked into this too much yet, but here's a good site about
it:
   http://www.isoc.org:8080/
I'm doing a multi-lingual site at the moment that doesn't require any
special character set so I just send these out in the <HEAD>:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-
1">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Language" CONTENT="{LANGUAGE}">
According to the site I just gave you they recommend sending out the
CONTENT="text/html; charset={yourcharset_UTF-8_orwhatever}" part of it
in the header.
