Is it helpful to improve of SEO, when I write Meta-Tag in many languages ?
Is it helps to search engines to find description of site in other languages ?
If you are targeting users in a couple specific countries, it can be helpful to have metas in multiple languages. A couple ways to do this:
Depending on what CMS you are using (if you are using a CMS) you can get multiple language SEO plugin that will help generate SEO tags for you.
You can add custom meta tags with descriptions directing for each specific type of language you would like to use (i.e. <meta name="description" lang="DE" content="Germany description.">
For larger scale projects the your best route would actually be to buy country specific domains (i.e. yoursite.fr, yoursite.uk). Article on that topic here: http://searchengineland.com/the-ultimate-guide-to-multilingual-and-multiregional-seo-157838
BIG BUT: Google does not make it easy for you to target separate countries using SEO on one page. Anecdotal evidence suggest it will rank you on one language, and not do as great regardless of linking, etc. on other languages.
For the future, MOZ is great about producing current content re: any SEO questions.

I'm looking for some document, or website, where I can find EVERYTHING about HTML. Something like an HTML Dictionary/Encyclopedia. I want to read about the most unknown tags, attributes, and structures of this markup language. I've been looking for a document or a website, but I can't find any. Does someone know where I can find like a 'full documentation page' or something like that?
I'm looking for something like official documentation, not a course in Udemy or a Youtube video. I'm looking for just text and text about this markup language.
Can someone help me?
There are many places for HTML and Web Dev reference, some of the common and good ones are listed below:-
w3Schools
Tutorials Point
Mozilla Developer Network
Dev Docs
These should be sufficient for your needs in HTML and other programming languages.
Note: None of these are HTML specific, or documentation specific, some of them are also learning platforms. Look around in these websites for references and resources alike.

I'm actually creating SEO properties for a website owned by the company I work.
http://animoetc.com
I attempted to create OpenGraph entries that work with Facebook and other social stuff. But I've used meta name="og:__", that seems to work, but now I'm confused because many sites use meta property="og:__" instead.
So, is there a difference between both?
That question did not help me much: Whats the difference between meta name and meta property?
Thanks in advance.
The meta property is a standard defined in Open Graph Protocol, the other is a simple HTML attribute – see this – that all search engines recognize, and its value does not need to start with the structure og: (which it is precisely the acronym of Open Graph).

I am looking to render SQL code on my webpage. I am making tutorials and i would like to display SQL snippets to my visitors. Are there some librairies out there or best practices to do that?
Since this is StackOverflow I will recommend the one that StackExchange is using - Google's Code Prettify library, which supports SQL.
You would have to include the library to your site:
<script src="https://cdn.rawgit.com/google/code-prettify/master/loader/run_prettify.js"></script>
And then write your example
<pre class="prettyprint">
SELECT name FROM users;
</pre>
Usually when you want to neatly display code on a webpage, CSS isn't enough. If you want more sophisticated code coloring and formatting, you'll most likely need to write javascript in order to detect keywords, values strings etc. Luckily with the dev community being what it is, there are already options to do this for many different languages. I'd recommend SyntaxHighlighter as it offers support for many languages, it's easy to use and customize.

I have a page with meta description, but for some reason Google indexing sources its value from the content of the page, and not even from the beginning of the text, but from a sentence in the middle of the paragraph. I've checked the html, but don't see any reason for it. Robots are not affecting this page either. What else could be the reason? Forgot to mention I'm using Umbraco 4.7
The snippet Google shows will generally be related to the query the user has entered. In some cases, this will match well with your meta description, but if there is content elsewhere in the page body that better matches the user's search, then Google will show that part of the page instead.
This article on Moz.com goes in to a bit more detail on how you can gently steer Google in the right direction towards your meta description, but ultimately it's not something you can control.
So, is there anything you can do to bend Google to your will and always use your META descriptions? Unfortunately, the short answer is "no". Like so much of SEO, though, there are some ways to nudge Google in the right direction

I have a website that's indexed on Google. However because my description is so short, the contents in the body are displayed after the ellipsis ... like so...
title for www.mysite.com
www.mysite.com
Brief description ... some body contents
Here's some sample html used in my website
<meta name="description" content="Brief description" />
<body>some body contents</body>
How can I make sure search engines only display the brief description inside the above tag, instead of displaying information in the body as well?
Such short descriptions would hardly fulfil Google's desire to provide informative/accurate snippets:
"Google will sometimes use the meta description of a page in search
results snippets, if we think it gives users a more accurate
description than would be possible purely from the on-page content." -
http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=35624
SEOMoz has a much more expansive review on how to avoid Google's overwriting of them: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/why-wont-google-use-my-meta-description
So the short answer is that you can't "make" search engines display your "weak" description, but you can block them altogether as per #kabaros's comment...
