For a multilingual Web surfer, there are a lot of language support sites offering dictionaries, fonts and translation services.

            There are many web sites using languages other than English. To view the text content on a computer, the particular font must be installed on it. If the font is not installed, we have to download it from the Internet or enable the browser to display the text with an available font. Many websites provides free fonts to the users.
