I have a web site in hebrew and when searching in google for this site, the site's description is in GIBRISH. How should I write the meta tag / encoding so google will show the hebrew fonts?
Love is the battery of life....
Hi Amit,
You should be using 1 of the 2 standard encodings for Hebrew websites. Either UTF8 or Windows-1255
It can be added to your site be adding this piece of code in between the <HEAD> tags of your website:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
charset=windows-1255 is what I'm using now and gives me the discribed problem. I've tried also charset=utf-8 but then the webpage itself is showed in GIBRISH....
Can you supply a link to your website so we may have a look and see how we can help you out?

Search in google for this url and you'll see the GIBRISH in the search results...
I think the main problem is that you have delcared the HTML tag twice - thats what could be screwing with everything.
