Mule (MULtilingual Enhancement to GNU Emacs) does. Mule can handle multilingual text, that is. it can contain many languages, such as Latin languages (English, French, German, Spanish, ...), Arabic, Hebrew, Amharic (Ethiopian language), Greek, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, in the same document. Support for Lao, Indian, and Tibet are coming soon. Mule is free software, and quite open. You can even enhance its language support for yourself! You can get Mule from <URL:ftp://etlport.etl.go.jp/pub/mule> or many other sites. Dr. Handa and other authors of Mule are now working for merging Mule with GNU Emacs. >3- What do I need on my system (MacOS, Windows95, Unix) to write and read >multilingual HTML documents on Web, and where can I find these resources or >softwares? On Unix platform, you can use Mule with Emacs-w3, or GNUscape Navigator, which is a WWW client written by elisp. Some people are writing and reading multilingual web pages by Mule. You can get information about Emacs-w3 from <URL:http://www.cs.indiana.edu/elisp/w3/docs.html>. On Windows platform, Alis `Tango' is a nice solution. It can handle more than 90 languages.
