How to enable local languages in mobile browsers

The use of mobile phones has been dramatically increasing since its inception, this rate has increased more quicker after introducing mobile internet, now people can do about all the task what they used to do in a computer, now browsing a website on mobile is like browsing a website on your PC.

    But somehow it fails to give us all the pleasure that we can have in a computer, the first thing is the display, we always prefer larger view rather than smaller, and secondly all mobile browser can not show all the languages properly that is it can not read the complex scripts like our local languages. However the problem may not occur in Unicode enable mobile phones. Today I am going to discuss the second problem that is viewing multiple languages or local languages in a mobile browser, in this tutorial I will take the Opera mini browser as an example, but you can generalised it to all the available bitmap font enabled mobile browser. So here I go.. 


Follow the following steps
1) Open your mobile browser ( eg. Opera mini)
2) Type about:config on the address bar and hit Enter
3) Now you will see multiple options
4) Find out the option called Use bitmap fonts for complex scripts
5) By default it remains as No, change it to Yes 
6) Finally click on Save
You are done, now you can view complex scripts easily on your mobile devices.
