I developed a Visualforce emailtemplate and used all the custom labels to translate into different languages.
the subject is coming as ??????? for all the languages except for english, but in preview i can able to see the subject in translated language .we are using the outlook as the mail-box.

You could use the language attribute of the VF page:
<apex:page language="es">
<apex:outputText value="{!$Label.Foo}">
<apex:pageBlock>
<apex:pageBlockSection>
<apex:outputField value="{!Account.BillingStreet}"/>
</apex:pageBlockSection>
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>
The label Foo and the fieldlabel for the Billing Street are in spanish then. Of course you must provide a spanish translation for the custom label.
The language attribute does accept ISO country codes plus an optional locale like
- en
- en_US
- de
- de_DE
You may also refer to a variable in order to set the locale dynamically:
<apex:page language="{!lang}">
This should allow you to write a VF page only once and use the platform specific translation mechanisms to translate all texts and labels.
After doing some research I able to figured out how to achieve this, if someone has better way of doing please post it here.
1) I modified my VF email template and added attribute language="{!recipient.LanguageLocaleKey}"
2) After doing that, I created Custom Labels as shown below:
3) After creating the Custom Labels I just had to plug them in the VF email template as shown below.
<messaging:emailTemplate recipientType="User" language="{!recipient.LanguageLocaleKey}"
relatedToType="custom_object"
subject="Case report for Account: {!relatedTo.name}">
<messaging:htmlEmailBody>
<html>
<body>
<p>{!$Label.Translation_Custom_Label_Line_1} {!recipient.name},</p>
<p>{!$Label.Translation_Custom_Label_Line_2} {!relatedTo.name}.</p>
<table border="0" >
<tr>
<th>{!$Label.Translation_Custom_Label_Line_3}</th>
<th>{!$Label.Translation_Custom_Label_Line_4}</th>
</tr>
</table>
<p/>
</body>
</html>
</messaging:htmlEmailBody>
4) If you want to test it out, go back to the User account change the Language and Save the record, then go back to the Email Template and do a Send Test Email
It works fine without any issue, again if you have a better solution please let me know and hope this will help others.
