Re: [htdig] Bilingual site - English/French Setup of Ht://Dig

I got some help with my problem with Ht://Dig and locales on OS X

A great resource:

The same change seems to let ht://Dig work fine for French characters 
as well.  I wish I really knew what had been fixed.  Locales seem to 
cause problems on many platforms so Hopefully some development effort 
is going into what can make them work more portably.
