Meta tags and language

I have a website writteng in greek.

<meta name="keywords" content="" /> can I use greek language in content or just in english?

If I can write them using greek chars, do I have to add anything to meta tag?

Thank you

You can use any character you want from the character set you are using. Just make sure that your web server send the correct character set headers in the HTTP request. You may also add a <meta> element specifying the charset, but it's not strictly necessary.

I use UTF-8 in these examples as I think it's a code charset and prefer to use it myself. It's on its way to take over as the standard charset on the web.

HTTP header which should be sent by the web server:

Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8

Optional <meta> element for your document:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
