Help with Greek text display Please

Ok it’s time to call in the cavalry. I have spent a couple of days on this problem and it’s now getting annoying.
I’m trying to run a site which is bi-lingual. I decided to run it the safest way as a mirror site with one half in English and the other half in Greek.
THE PROBLEM:-
The uploaded file returns output that would suggest that the charset is not correct. I’m using the following for the Greek pages: <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”text/html; charset=iso-8859-7″> and the standard …..8859-1 for the English pages. I’ve also declared an additional head tag: <meta name=”content-language” content=”EN,EL”> as I’ve seen this on some Greek sites, still the Greek pages return crap. I’ve tried using the tag <span language=”EL”>Greek Text Here</span> and it is still not working, any and all combinations of the above don’t work. As a last resort I pilfered (borrowed) the source of a Greek site I had just browsed, uploaded it to the server and tried to browse it and the same thing was happening. After trying this it would seem logical a problem might then be either:
1) The ftp process may be corrupting the data. (I use the ftp client built into Dreamweaver MX)
or
2) The server requires configuring or a language pack to display special characters. (The site runs on a linux server)
or
Am I realy missing something so simple? Please help.
