    I have collect a couple of lyrics, that possibly is Spanish or Italian, I did
    not know, In brief is Europe's one language, but when I copy and paste to one page, view in browser always can appear some strange character. I cannot let it normally.
    How should I do in a page already include English also to include other language?
    Thanks.

    You should use unicode for pages that have more then one language in them.

    Instead of:
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
    Use:
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
    on the pages with mixed languages.

    Then read up on how to treat uft-8 (or unicode) for "strange characters".
