We have to develop a web application that need to be displayed in different regional languages.
Not all mobile devices support Malayalam Language. So, for those devices, we have to renter English version automatically.

What we need is, we have to identify whether the corresponding device support Malayalam font or not?
From one of the sites that we have analyzed, we got a list of devices that support Malayalam Language.
Nokia 5700, which is listed in that site, doesn't support the sample application that we have developed in Malayalam Language.

Can we identify whether the device support Malayalam Language from the header information of the request from that device or do we need to check with the directory information? If later is the answer, it may not be applicable for all devices.

Can we integrate your service in our application to meet the following:

1) We have to detect certain features/parameters supported by the mobile device from where the request is receiving at our web application. Then the pages can be render accordingly. Eg. Malayalam support, screen resolution, Memory capacity, etc...

2) User can use either the default WAP browser in the device or they can use HTML browsers like Opera Mini. The web application should be able to identify the browser and render WAP or HTML site

3) Device with less memory capacity may not be able to load lengthy pages. So, what we need is the web application should detect the memory capacity of the device and render contents with in the device's capacity. We can implement paging but need to know the memory capacity of the device. May be we need to detect the memory capacity in K Bytes.

4) We need to implement an image gallery. The images should be resized automatically without any quality loss to be displayed in both higher end and lower end mobiles. Can we identify the devices resolution so that corresponding image can be rendered.

Hello,
except for the language support, everything can be done using DeviceAtlas.

For the language support I think your best guess is to use the Accept-Language header that browsers should send.
