boen_robot Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Your question doesn't really make sence... what do you think a meta tag is?By wanting to "display languages from all over the world" do you mean "have pages in languages from all over the world"? If so, then you'll need to create a version of each page in each language and add an according language markings (like the HTML element's lang attribute) to each.If you mean something else, please give more details as to how you plan on organizing your content.[edit]<< Topics merged >>Oh... so you were talking about ENCODING and/or CHARSET required in order to write multi-lingual sites.UTF-8 is the answer to your question. But setting the charset meta (it's not a language meta), is not enough. You need to set UTF-8 everywhere where encodings and charsets can be set, including:1. File encoding (check the "Encoding" dropdown from Notepad or the equivalent in your editor)2. HTTP Content-Type header with a charset set, equivalent to the charset meta.3. The charset meta itself.4. Database charset.5. Database connection charset.[/edit] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
