{ filsa.net: Polyglot Frontier - Introduction | Resource Index | Get Involved }

Originally published on 7/23/97; 9:33:52 AM Introduction A mini-site for resources, ideas, and discussion about using Frontier with non-English languages--especially Japanese and other double-byte languages
	Notice: I stopped maintaining my Frontier sites in early 1999. The info here is dated. In February 2002, a discussion began on the Script Meridian list about using Frontier/Radio for Chinese and Japanese. It's a long thread, covering territory I covered on this site back in 1998. I responded and also shared my correspondence with Userland on this issue in August 2001. Further discussion on this topic should happen on the Script Meridian community site/mailing list. Welcome! The non-English speaking Frontier community is growing and growing. this site is here to promote awareness of technologies on the other side of the language gap, and to campaign for better support for other languages (especially double-byte languages) in future versions of Frontier. Perhaps this could also become a home for Frontier tutorials in various languages, hints and resources for upper-ASCII and double-byte languages. Why don't you start by reading my story about Frontier: An International Community. Then come back here and consult the site outline below for other information, resources, and technical discussions. Then Get Involved and find out how you can help make Frontier the superior web management solution---in *any* language. Note: most of the information here is geared towards Japanese, but I'd like to extend this eventually to other languages as well.
