Multilingual Document in Latex

in latex, i am using tex? The following verbatim is an example.
Second, what is the suitable software for write and compile it,
because i failed to use the WinEdt and TeXnicCenter? Third, is there
any way to use unicode like java, \u0000 in latex?

This is a more complex issue. TeX itself in core is not unicode-
based.
Currrently, you can use CJKutf8, XeLaTeX, or LuaTeX to meet your
requirement.

Don't use winedt to do that, is not a unicode based editor.

CJK package support the \CJKchar command to do this, e.g., for chinese
character, 中, as the following:
\CJKchar{"0D6}{"0D0}
or
\CJKchar[UTF8]{"04E}{"02D}

Your example is error, I'll send you some stuff I used based on your
above example.

: Good day everyone, i have question on how to write multilingual text
: in latex, i am using tex? The following verbatim is an example.
Use LaTeX rather than TeX because TeX itself is not aware of languages
(in a strict sense). The phantastic language support found at CTAN
is generally geared towards LaTeX (with notable exceptions).
Depending on the languages you want to include in your document you
have to make some fundamental decisions. Looking at your example I see
that you declare BIG5 as encoding for Chinese. You can do that, but run
into problems when mixing with other languages and the commonly
accepted answer here is: Unicode, or ISO10646. If you want to combine
only Chinese and Arabic you can use BIG5 for Chinese and a
transliteration-based Arabic system like ArabTeX. Any language that
can be expressed in a romanization can be processed conveniently even in
LaTeX installations which are not Unicode-aware. However, sometimes
it is awkward to write in a transliteration when the natural writing
system is more convenient. So, again, this reads: choose Unicode.
: Second, what is the suitable software for write and compile it,
: because i failed to use the WinEdt and TeXnicCenter?
I have no experience with WinEdt nor TeXnicCenter but any editor which
can handle UTF8-encoded Unicode material, combined with a user interface
that handles the fonts, can display and edit Unicode material. Sometimes,
support for particular languages may be missing at the font or GUI level
but the editor of choice (I prefer vim, others will recommend Emacs)
can still handle your data.
: Third, is there
: any way to use unicode like java, \u0000 in latex?
In principle, the CJK package allows you to enter individual codepoints
but the truly generic way these days is XeTeX (and XeLaTeX) which can
understand and express these codes natively.
If you indicate which languages you want to include and what the purpose
of your documents is you may have a good chance that there will be more
substantial recommendations and solutions.
So far, I suggest to have a look at XeTeX and the languages branch of
CTAN.
Oliver.
