HOW TO: Creating web pages in Telugu (Windows XP)

Creating web pages in Telugu is very simple. For this how-to I assume that you are using Windows XP or above. Just follow the following steps.

  1. Check if support for Complex Script Languages is enabled in XP. (Or, just follow the first three steps shown here.)
  2. Open Notepad.
  3. Type in some Telugu text. (There are various ways for typing in Telugu.) Or, you can simply copy and paste the following code: 
    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
	<head>
		<title>తెలుగులో వెబ్ పేజీలు</title>
	</head>
	<body>
		<h1>హలో ప్రపంచమా!</h1>
	</body>
</html>
  4. Save it:
    1. Give the file name as “telugu-test.html” (with quotes)
    2. From the Encoding dropdown, select UTF-8 or Unicode. (This is very important!)
  5. Now, open this file in your web browser. (You should see Telugu properly. Windows XP comes with a Telugu font called Gauthami. So you do not need to install any fonts.)
