Hi Annel,
To type in Tamil language, you will need to first check if Tamil language is available in your mobile.
To check if Tamil is an in-built option available in your mobile:
1) go to 'Menu' -> 'Settings'
2) Navigate to 'Language' option in it.
3) Click on 'Phone Language; option and a list of available languages in mobile will be displayed.
4) Search and select the 'Tamil' language option and select 'OK'
If Tamil is not available as in-built language in your handset, you will need to download and install a Tamil language software for Nokia.
To list a few of them, supported by Nokia mobiles,

Follow the below steps to successfully install and use Tamil Language in your Nokia E71:

Hi,
Firstly, press the left soft key under the word "Menu" to open the main menu. The soft keys on the Nokia E71 perform the functions written above them on the screen. The E71 has a left and right soft key located to the left and right of the scroll key, and both have a "-" on them.
Secondly, highlight "Tools" using the scroll key and then press down on the scroll key to open the "Tools" menu.
Thirdly, Select "Settings," "Language" and "Phone Language." A list of available languages appears on the screen with a mark next to your current language selection.
Fourthly, Highlight "Tamil" using the scroll key and press down on the scroll key to mark your new language selection (Note if Tamil is not listed you will have to download additional languages from Nokia website)
Finally, press the left soft key under "OK" to save your new language setting and exit the menu.
I hope I have answered your question.
