Multi culture web sites - language-agnostic

How can I create a website using Tamil Font instead of English?

You should be able to use Tamil by creating a site that uses UTF-8 as an encoding. Here's a web site that explains how:

Is there a way of showing an specific html file for my webpage depending on the users location?

I´m developing a webpage and it has some entries in which it would be interesting to force my web server to show an html file not only autotranslated (mainly between english and spanish) but also to load the specific social media links which are created in those languages (as there is an English Instagram version and another Spanish one, an English Twitter account and another for Spanish, and so on), depending on the physical location of the webpage users.
Thanks in advance.
In principle you could detect the location. But I am guessing that what you really want is to detect the language of the user. For this there are multiple ways, see e.g.: JavaScript for detecting browser language preference

Website directory for multi lingual site

Hi I'm building a website in dutch, and on the index.html page there is an english flag for visitors to click on to get an english version on the site.
I'm wondering, specifically keeping SEO in mind, whats good practice considering web directories.
The dutch is www.website.com/index.html
would the english be something along the line of www.website.com/index-en.html?
any light shed would be appreciated.
In first place Google recommend countries specific domain (but is so expensive).
So I recommend subdomains (en.website.com) but if you can not create subdomains also you can use directories like: website.com/en/
Take a look to https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/182192?hl=en
Basically, Google will just take the default language to crawl which in this case is Dutch. If your website have separate English pages, not those using translator widget those sort, Google will also index it as separate pages. But in search engine, it will look like Dutch and English version of index.html next of another.

Hyphen would be good but remember not to overuse. Refrain from using other symbols. Google regards overusing of symbols as spammy.

Can I temporarily disable asian fonts for testing purposes?

I manage a Japanese website for my company.
Because I live in Japan all of my devices have Asian fonts and language support installed. I know however that for example my mother has several devices that cannot read Japanese fonts and will display boxes and garble (from the US).
We have foreign customers and I'd love for an easy way to check what our English website looks like when a user -does not- have Asian fonts installed so I can see if there are any characters that are not carrying over properly.
Sometimes an apostrophe or a math symbol does not translate properly and leaves a funny space/box.
Thanks for any insight.
Easiest way would be to spin up a new virtual machine with an OS that does not have the support for Asian languages and use it to check the website.

Thanks in advance
You cannot copy the apple font or ANU fonts text directly to html as browsers do not support those fonts. Try to convert the ANU fonts to unicode font before using in html.
There are many converters online. You can look at india government converter at www.cdac.in
