I am assuming the second response was again Good luck so thanks if not thanks to whoever and I understand the language bit has to be French reading French etc (same language format) so If French being expected to read Chinese then there is a problem because it throws out what is doesn't understand, hence I get nothing!. I am thinking of the 'Idiots' course or the book, do you get a degree if you pass?.

Imagine that the thing you click on is a document written in a foreign language - could be Hungarian or Greek or Hebrew.

The thing you use to look at it - the application you wish to view it through - will need to know Hungarian - or if it's Greek then a different application that knows how to interpret Greek etc.

The list of media types in the original answer shows what a Kindle Fire supports (can understand).

It would be good for you (essential) to find out the format of the video you try to watch and see if it matches any of those in the list.

The format of the file (the language) can only be read by an application that speaks that language.

The file format of the file to be viewed should match the file format of the application to present the image.

Thanks Good luck but should have said haven't a clue how computer stuff works except on/off still learning how stuff & apps work.

There always needs to be a match between the file type of the video and the application associated with it.

You do not say either.
