Hi, Im looking for a menu that handles other languages. I'm building a web application that gets all text from a database(MSSQL). The languages in the DB is eng, swedish, and other european languages. AND japanese. I have tried some menues but they wont work with japanese. Have anyone tried to get japanese text from at sql server and used within a menu function?

The menu script should work fine. I've never built multi-language sites myself, but if you set the document charset correctly and use a suitable text editor, there's nothing in the script that restricts you to English (at least, in the displayed menu text -- it's a good idea to name individual menus using a-z characters).

Good luck - Angus.

YES,I've tried to set the document charset correctly for the language I use, it works fine.
For example,
If you set the document (where the menu is placed) charset to utf-8 and your menu language is Japanese, the menu won't work properly. You have to set correct charset for the document(ex.HTML...) where you put this menu.
