Greetings all,
I'm a Drupal newbie, and am trying to set up a framework for importing the contents of a static site into a Drupal install. I'm running 6.16 on a domain I administer. I don't really want separate English and Japanese pages, and don't really want/need Japanese and English menus. Just want to be able to publish bilingually. I've tried to set things up, but get "moji-bake" after publishing pages that work fine on the static site.
The static site is http://ld-sig.org/, and I'd like to replicate it, more or less, moving toward greater interactivity with our members through the use of the Drupal CMS.
Any advice anyone can offer is much appreciated. Thanks,
Hugh

That sounds like an encoding
That sounds like an encoding issue. Is your database set up for UTF-8 encoding by default? Thats the only requirement as far as I know. Please check and let us know.
You can see a test post here
You can see a test post here -> http://playbox.filmoreha.com/d7/node/1 where I have both English and Japanese. This is a fresh install of Drupal 7 Alpha, nothing special. I would definitely check that your database is setup for UTF-8.
Also make sure that nothing
Also make sure that nothing on your server is stopping Drupal from telling it's sending UTF-8 pages to the browser (and/or isn't re-encoding the page in some non-UTF-8 encoding), and that your browser is accepting that encoding suggestion and isn't forcing some other encoding on the page.
For the former problem, if you run
curl -i http://your-server.example/ | grep utf-8…You should see a response like
Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
