Okay, I'm working on the webpage for Wendy's friend Vadim again, and I'm bashing my head against a wall here. Hey tech geeks, does anyone know a way to make my computer bilingual? I've hit a brick wall editing the pages that are in Russian, because I can get the russian characters to transfer but then it turns my scripting into garbage... help?
Page is here, Via Romen Gypsy Ensemble.

I know exactly what you mean, those damn headers and the excess garbage code is from whoever originally designed the thing. I'm not starting from the ground up here, I'm editing what somebody else did for him and then ditched on maintaining. I need to go through and weed out the useless code but I haven't had a chance.
Now see, the last time I used Dreamweaver it was worthless, but that was years ago. Look! It can put an image there! Look, it can put an hr there! Look, text! What's that, you want a table/js/form/anything even remotely above this level? Go in the back way and type in the source code. Yeah, I wasn't impressed. I like typing raw code, and I don't have any trouble with it, or haven't until now. It ends up so much cleaner than these programs. When they designed this page, EVERYTHING was in tables. Wtf? OMG page of text paragraphs, better make it a table! I had a page where it reassigned the text color to every single paragraph, even though the text color was the same throughout. I've already weeded out some of the garbage code, and it's still a mess.
Webpage programs make me cringe.
