How to show fonts other than english on a webpage

Hi

I am trying to make a website in different languages. Can anyone help
me, as in what steps I need to take and what extra codes I need to
write.

Thanks

First, you need to understand what it takes to display content in
different languages on a computer. On a web page, this is affected by
a number of things: (1) the web page's encoding, (2) the browser's
language settings and (3) the computer's (the one with the browser)
language settings.

Secondly, you need to determine if your multi-language site will
display only one language at a time, or if two or more languages are
displayed at the same time. If it's the former case, you have lots of
encodings (look up the term) to choose from. If it's the latter, use
Unicode (http://www.unicode.org).

You've got a lot of research to do.

Good luck.

Wrong newsgroup. Using client-side J(ava)Script for that would not allow
for Clean Degradation, and somehow I doubt you are going to use server-side
J(ava)Script.
