Answer 1

I got an answer with the following steps ,

Step 1 : Create one "tn.js" file for tamil fonts (take one copy from "en.js" [fckeditor/editor/lang/] and replace with tamil font with the name of "tn.js") and upload it into "fckeditor/editor/lang/" directory.

Step 2 : Include the language code and language title in "fcklanguagemanager.js" , "fckeditorcode_gecko.js" and "fckeditorcode_ie.js" files.

These files are coming under ,

(1). fcklanguagemanager.js ---> fckeditor/editor/_source/internals/

Search the word "AvailableLanguages :" and add the Tamil language code and title (tn : 'Tamil') with in the available languages array.

(2). fckeditorcode_gecko.js ---> fckeditor/editor/js/

Search the word "AvailableLanguages :" and add the Tamil language code and title (tn : 'Tamil') with in the available languages array.

(3). fckeditorcode_ie.js ---> fckeditor/editor/js/

Search the word "AvailableLanguages :" and add the Tamil language code and title (tn : 'Tamil') with in the available languages array.

Example :

var FCKLanguageManager=FCK.Language={AvailableLanguages:{af:'Afrikaans',ar:'Arabic',bg:'Bulgarian',bn:'Bengali/Bangla',bs:'Bosnian',ca:'Catalan',cs:'Czech',da:'Danish',de:'German',el:'Greek',en:'English','en-au':'English (Australia)','en-ca':'English (Canadian)','en-uk':'English (United Kingdom)',eo:'Esperanto',es:'Spanish',et:'Estonian',eu:'Basque',fa:'Persian',fi:'Finnish',fo:'Faroese',fr:'French','fr-ca':'French (Canada)',gl:'Galician',gu:'Gujarati',he:'Hebrew',hi:'Hindi',hr:'Croatian',hu:'Hungarian',is:'Icelandic',it:'Italian',ja:'Japanese',km:'Khmer',ko:'Korean',lt:'Lithuanian',lv:'Latvian',mn:'Mongolian',ms:'Malay',nb:'Norwegian Bokmal',nl:'Dutch',no:'Norwegian',pl:'Polish',pt:'Portuguese (Portugal)','pt-br':'Portuguese (Brazil)',ro:'Romanian',ru:'Russian',sk:'Slovak',sl:'Slovenian',sr:'Serbian (Cyrillic)','sr-latn':'Serbian (Latin)',sv:'Swedish',th:'Thai',tn:'Tamil',tr:'Turkish',uk:'Ukrainian',vi:'Vietnamese',zh:'Chinese Traditional','zh-cn':'Chinese Simplified'}

Step 3 : Set the default language to your editor like ,

If you are using JavaScript in your html webpage page means just embed like the following.

<script type="text/javascript">
oFCKeditor.Config["AutoDetectLanguage"] = false ;
oFCKeditor.Config["DefaultLanguage"]    = 'tn' ;
</script>

If you are using PHP in your webpage page means just embed like the following ,

<?php 
$oFCKeditor->Config['AutoDetectLanguage']   = false ;
$oFCKeditor->Config['DefaultLanguage']  = 'en' ;
?>

Step 4 : Run your webpage to see it in action.

Answer 2

CKEditor supports language selection (see multi-language support here). Tamil is not officially a supported language, but you may implement your own Tamil support. There are many guides on how to do this, see for example http://theholyjava.wordpress.com/2011/04/04/how-to-customize-ckeditor-with-your-own-plugins-skins-configurations/ (the custom language section)
