Answer 1

Erm. What I would recommend, rather than all this drop-down-selecting business, is simply making your chat application's presentation-layer and persistence-layer encoding UTF-8, which supports your users inputting whatever locally appropriate characters they like.

Answer 2

As I read it, you want a translation from english to other languages. So you might want to take a look at the google translation api, it is quite useable and accurate.
