Can you check if http://flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=116921501&size=o shows your page better? This will help in filling a bug report on Firefox so that it gets fixed in newer versions. > You said: > > However, you are looking in simply writing content in Gujarati/Hindi and > > have them appear on your Website.

Can you guide me to any document on WP Codex which > specifies/guides localisation of WordPress? As I mentioned below, there are two components to localise (in order words, translate). My recommendation is to start with translating your theme. I am not sure if your current theme has been internationalised so you can translate. Perhaps someone can help here. A nice internationalised theme is Giraffe, http://www.urbangiraffe.com/themes/giraffe You grab the translation file (in the package above, it's called "giraffe.po") and open with poEdit. You then translate. poEdit can compile the file into a .mo file. Name it "gu.mo" and place it in the directory on your Web server that contains the theme. For example, for me, it's http://simos.info/blog/wp-content/themes/giraffe/el.mo Then, edit wp-config.php to set the language to "gu". Reload the page and you are set.
