Thanks for the link. I think I figured it out. Took me over a day and a half, but finally I managed to get the characters to show up correctly. All I had to do in the end was add " Session.CodePage = 1254 " in the beginning of pcStartSession.asp d'oh!

Peace,

hi,I thought it might work and gave it a shot yesterday, but no dice
When I open the languages.asp in dreamweaver, I can see the characters just fine, but when I open say the login page on my browser, the text fed from the dictionary shows up with letters from the english alphabet. ( 'i' without the dot on top becomes 'i' etc.)

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had an idea where I could change the charset for ProductCart. My store will operate in Turkish so I have to translate the dictionary file and if I don't change the charset to windows-1254 or iso-8859-9, I won't be able to use the extra characters in this alphabet.

I added it in the include-metatags.asp as:
Response.Write "<TITLE>" & Title & "</TITLE>" & vbcrlf & _
    "<META NAME=""Description"" CONTENT=""" & mtDescription & """>" & vbcrlf & _
    "<META NAME=""Keywords"" CONTENT=""" & Keywords & """>" & vbcrlf & _
    "<META NAME=""Robots"" CONTENT=""index,follow"">" & vbcrlf & _
    "<meta http-equiv=""Content-Type"" content=""text/html; charset=iso-8859-9"">" & vbcrlf & _
    "<META NAME=""Revisit-after"" CONTENT=""30"">" & vbcrlf

but that didn't really seem to do anything.

Thanks in advance,

Egemen
