I agree with Susan. We have done
this in the past and we should be looking for replacement characters. Eclipse
is a global community and even though our site is mostly English, we need to do
as much as possible to link to what is going on in other languages.

Non-English content on the website
Historically, we had links to both German and French
articles that I recall. It was relatively easy to manage - for the German
umlaut's I replaced with the flattened version (ue, ae, oe). Other
special characters also went afoul occassionally but it was easy to find a
replacement. And, the site does still host the Japanese user
group? And, probably a few links to some Spanish/Italian plug-ins so its
not entirely English. The Japanese user group in fact could be
interpreted as a multi-lingual initiative.

[phoenix-dev] Non-English content on the
website
|
|
Phoenix team,
We currently have some non-English links on our
website that stick out
like a sore thumb because (I think) our web
server's character set
doesn't support the foreign characters.
Although we should fix the character set, except
for a few translated
articles, our website is otherwise entirely
English. This is not
necessarily a good thing, but until we have a
solid strategy for hosting
content in other languages, I don't think we
should have links to
non-English content on our home page.
What do you think? Please see
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=143449
for details.
Denis
