In the first part I gave an example of using stylish to control font display for minority languages within Gmail. In this post II’ll quickly look at Yahoo’s new email web interface. These CSS rules do not apply to the classic mail UI.

One of the most common queries during training sessions with public library staff concerns what web based email service to use for CALD clients. Each web based email service has different options, and may require different strategies. In the following discussion, I’ll discuss how Firefox and certain Firefox extensions can facilitate sending and receiving email in new and emerging languages.
I’ll concentrate on GMail. GMail uses the UTF-8 Unicode encoding and is well suited for sending and recieving multilingual email. GMail, like many internationalized web services, needs to be optimised for minority languages. Optimisation needs to be handled client side. The extend you can optimise GMail is dependant on the capabilities of your web browser.
