That is, if you used the "Language" line above you would get a "Turkish" entry appearing in the interface language menu of Greenstone's preferences page. If you then selected Turkish from the menu, the encodings menu would also change (to utf-8 because that's the default you set for Turkish). The Turkish text you've written to your turkish.dm and turkish2.dm macro files should ALWAYS be encoded as utf-8 however. Using iso-8859-9, windows-1254 or any other encoding in macro files will not work. cheers, Stefan.
