which can display the contents in gujarati language but i want to enter  
the data in gujarati language from the user and want to store it in the  
database.so i need to manage the database for both English as well as  
Gujarati language…

Thanks in advance,

I dont see any indic editors attached to rails or php or any other web  
technologies.

There are some javascripts available for indic languages to help typing  
in  
Indian languages. You can fit them into rails as you normally do the  
Ajax stuff.

All you need is your mysql database/tables created with default  
encoding as utf8.  
If the database engine default is not utf8 compatible then you may need  
to  
define the columns explicitely with utf8-general and so on.

Then the database.yml in the rails configured with  
‘encoding: UTF8’

You are ready to go.
