Internationalization Resources

• The ISO 8859 Alphabet Soup is a page maintained by Roman Czyorra and probably the best introduction to the various character set's I've seen.
• Using Various Languages in HTML at Vancouver Webpages explains some of the html specific issues, and includes example pages for lots of character sets. This is often useful for testing.
• The Internationalization pages at w3.org provide overviews of what they think the solutions are for web based technologies. Of particular note are the slides to Weaving the multilingual Web --  Standards and their implementation by François Yergeau and Martin Dürst.
• Abton Tagunov maintains a page of Common problems with i18n and servlets/jsps. [Warning, this page takes a long time to load.]
• Canonical character sets according to IANA.

Translation Resources

• Leo - Link Everything Online is a decent German/English dictionary, for those of use trying to create plausible data but who have forgotten much of "was wir erlernten auf highschooldeutsch."
