Local charset?

You don’t do it. You have to stick with one charset. It is *impossible* to mix 2 charsets in the same page (or the browser will be lost), and WP only accepts one single charset.

Not entirely true – you can “mix” languages…
However, my question is: since WP has by default utf-8 encoding which is OK for any language, why would you want to change the charset in a page/post?

Just change your language on your keyboard and write in whatever langugae you want.
See an example of different languages in the same post.

The problem is: I have designed a website (non-wp) where I use the loop to get the posts (news). When I use utf-8 encoding in my index (non-wp), the posts are displayed with the correct charset, however the static text in my page is displayed wrong (doesn’t show the correct characters)! That’s why i need to give the static text a different charset!

Thanks alot

however the static text in my page is displayed wrong (doesn’t show the correct characters)!

That’s because that text has been written with a different encoding. Why not just convert it?

And I have to correct myself: you can mix languages (even text direction) but not encoding on the same page/file.

I think i got it right now! Thanks moshu
