To automatically detect a website’s language

Most webpages contain information that tells the web browser what language and character set to use when displaying the page. This type of information is referred to as language encoding. Internet Explorer can usually determine the correct language encoding, even if the webpage does not include language encoding information, as long as the Language Encoding Auto-Select feature is turned on. Here’s how to turn it on:

1.  Open Internet Explorer.

2.  Navigate to a webpage.

3.  Right-click the webpage, point to Encoding, and then click Auto-Select.
