i don't know how java can support other language but there are tools like JNI(Java Native Interface) which supports functionality from other languages i think primarily c/c++. I know there are 3rd party tools that support VB. Also if you need a bridge between the 2 there is CORBA

I think Angela is probably referring to different "natural" languages :- English, Sanskrit, Greek etc.

Internationalization is really well supported in java. It has been part of the design right from the beginning.
I'm currently reading a really useful book on the subject. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0596000197/electricporkchop

Thanks to all
Let me more specific here:
I have one project in which I have to support languages like German, English, French, Japanese. So I want to know if java is supporting for above langauages, which java package I can use. Also Japanese has Unicode characters, so how can convert unicode characters with java.

Please help me out,
Thanks to all again,
Angela

Angela,
What do you mean by �support languages�? To show text in these languages, to print it? All what you need to show text in Unicode is a proper font, you can read http://www.unicode.org/help/display_problems.html for details.

Again I would say check out the link I gave. It seems what you are talking about is a part of internationalization.
