[dbz]

when i go to this one web site it is in japanese, i know if i right click then go to encoding, it gives me a bunch of differant langauages to change the site into, but english is not there.

what do i have to download to properly veiw this site.

encoding does not translate one language to another. the encoding function u see on ur browser is a way for the browser to try to recognise the symbols that is used by a particular language (cyrilic, alphabets, cuneiform blah blah blah).

that way, it can display that symbol correctly as wat it is meant to be, otherwise all u see are '?'s all over the website.

to translate japanese language, u have to go to websites like Babelfish (http://babelfish.altavista.com) and enter the URL.

Then what do you want to know?

If you want to translate the site then use babelfish - like gildan said - if you do not want to translate the site then please rephrase your query so it's understandable :)
