Changing the language of the title attribute of anchor tag

[npswarna_13]

hi all,
can some body please tell me how to display the title attribute of anchor tag in some regional language say kannada.
we have developed the whole site in Kannada but iam not gettting how to display the tooltip(title) of the links(anchor element) in kannada.
i should be able to apply a font family to the title's text.
hope iam clear enough about my doubt.
thanks and regards

See, the problem is you can't really make the browser display the tooltips in different fonts or sizes, because of the fact that different browsers do what they want with it. Tecnically, the browser can use the title tag for anything they want--just most use it for tooltips. But the acual tooltips are the browser's problem.

If you wanted them in a different language...well I don't know much about that. Have you used xml:lang and the lang attributes on the HTML base tag? I'd try that, and see what comes up.

Sorry I couldn't be much of a help.

As was stated all you can do use character encoding and the xml:lang I assume the whole page is in Kannada(kn) ISO 639-2 I am not family with Indian script but you might also have into install a specific font and language pack for the browser.

Install the correct font family.. I think this should help.
