    Hi, I'm filling a webside (template Hair Repair Website Template) and have the problem, that the side don't shows German "Umlaute": Ä Ö Ü and the ß. The fonts are Caudex and Muli. I searched to download them again for German language, but nothing helps. Can anyone give me a hint? :cry:

    on every html page the code starts out like this

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <!-- Website template by freewebsitetemplates.com -->
    <html>
    <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Hair Repair Website Template</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/style.css" type="text/css">
    </head>

    where the "<html>" is
    change to <html lang="de">
    or even <html lang="x-klingon"> if you read/speak it

    that should fix your problem as you have to tell the browser what language

    Hi Ishkey,

    I have such problem and can't find any solution. Would you please let me know which tag is useful for Persian? I test <html lang="fa">, but can't solve the problem. Thanks...

    that is correct - browsers have been supporting Unicode and Farsi: for a very long time.
    just make sure the encoding "Unicode (UTF-8)" is included
    If you can't read it, you should go to your browser's Options or Preferences (For example in Internet Explorer menu, click on Tools and then Internet Options), then go to Languages and add Farsi (if it is in the list).

    try http://www.iana.org/assignments/language-subtag-registry/language-subtag-registry
