Different languages in text form in HTML page

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Hello,

I am planning to use Arabic, Chinese, Urdu, Punjabi text and some other languages in my HTML page, but not sure how I could do this?

Is there something to do with UTF encoding or the HTML <head> tag?

Any help would be great.

Thanks

@holyhttpMay 11.2007 — Each language has its own meta tag.

For instance for Arabic:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-6" />

for chinese simplified:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=hz-gb-2312" />

and so forth.

You can go to the w3c.org web site for more info.

@CharlesMay 12.2007 — No, you want to use &lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"&gt;

&lt;p lang="ar"&gt;[i]some Arabic paragraph[/i]&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p lang="zh"&gt;[i]some Chinese paragraph[/i]&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p lang="ur"&gt;[i]some Urdu paragraph[/i]&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p lang="pa"&gt;[i]some Punjabi paragraph[/i]&lt;/p&gt;See [list]
