Need to translate ASP into HTML

Any suggestions on programs (or people) that can do this? I need to find a way to translate a website for work.


Thanks,

ASP scripts are used to dynamically generate HTML. Unless the ASP always generates the same content, you can't just translate it to HTML.
 
What exactly are you trying to do? You need the text of the website translated into another language (say, Spanish)? You can always select "View Source" in your browser window if you want to see the HTML output of an ASP page.
 
I'm guessing that you have an existing site written in ASP that you want converted to simple HTML pages? The easiest way to do it if you are not familiar with programming code is probably just to surf the site, view the source of each page and then save the source code as HTML. Make sure you change the links in the site from .asp to the corresponding .html page.

Yeah, that's the obvious answer.

I'm a bit confused, though. If the question you are REALLY trying to ask is "How do I make a dynamic page using asp run off of a different language..." then HTML is only the starter block for it. PHP would be a good choice.
 
When you call an ASP page on your browser, the server compiles the page, and then spits out the response to your webbrowser. An HTML page on the other hand is just transferred to you as is. So if you wanted to pull stuff from a database, you can't do that with plain HTML. For example, this very thread dynamically pulls the posts from the database whereas if it was a plain HTML page, it wouldn't update with the latest posts and would only contain what YOU put in it in the first place... hope that makes sense.

Just skimming over the site you gave, it looks like the only part of the site that is actually dynamic is the date/time. You can get around that with javascript. So all you have to do is save every link on the page along with the images and then just rename the ASP pages as HTML. There are firefox extensions that can do this for you.

an alternative is to use web.config file to dynamically get locale setting and use the webpage in the specific language.
