French Accent marks

[Maureen]

Lucie, Do you know if it is possible to write text into a google site
in French and somehow get the accent marks needed. I would like the
kids to be able to post comments and journal in French, but don't know
how to do it.

great question..

This is not so much a Google Site question as it is how to write in other languages on web2.0 tools... 

I've never had to do that  so I don't know... but I will research

 

obviously it can be done

I found this which is probably not that helpful for this, but might be helpful in general.

I know there are language settings in Gmail and other tools.

but again.. Its not something I've ever done.

 

Are there other French teachers who might be a resource for typing French characters in emails etc.

Most of the French teachers I know just type emails without the
accents and then assume the reader can figure it out. This, of course,
would be bad form for students still learning the language. I did
figure out how to change the language of all the directives in the
site, but not the text entered by a collaborator.
