Thanks for the quick response, it is really great, i went through link.  
now  
i have a clear idea.apart from that.(Actually i am quite new to web  
world,)  
i need to type multiple language in the text area field, is there anyway  
? i  
saw documentation on i18n, globalize but… it all are basically used to  
translated for local language(may be i am wrong)… is there any other  
thing  
which is work for me.

Thanks…
