I do not believe there is a portable way to do this in C++, as I am unaware of what your platform or compiler is. You can include wchar.h and use wscanf and wprintf:

 wprintf(L"(something in your language here)");

Three notes are:

• C++ does not know what a font is, you can only insert a character mapped to a code point, such as with UTF-16.
  
• You must append L before each string literal that is wide, including the formatting specifiers in the wprint or wscanf functions, i.e, L"%s".
  
• Your console may not support wide character format, such as the standard Windows console without modification.

i m using turbo c++ 3.0.

[Alexander]

Turbo C++ 3.0 was released in 1991, you may wish to get a compiler that at least conforms to C++ 1998 standards.

okk. which one is the best c++ compiler now?

[Alexander]

If you are on Windows, you may wish to get Visual C++. Their compiler includes some nice support for wide characters in C++.

okkk thanks. can it helps me to show output in chinese language.

[Alexander]

Depending on the support of your compiler, either of the two of these may work:

 wprintf(L"汉语/漢語\n");

and

std::wcout << L"汉语/漢語" << std::endl;

It is still dependent on your terminal capabilities.
