I don't know if there is a standard single-byte encoding for the Telugu script--it's in Unicode at 0C05 - 0C61, but you can't use Unicode fonts in Director. I don't think Telugu is included in the ISO 8859 specification, either.
I assume that you have a font, though. Telugu is a left-to-right language, like European languages, so you should be able to just embed the font, and the display should work. Hopefully, input would work as well. I don't have much more expertise in Telugu, though--I don't know if there are Telugu keyboards, or how the characters would be encoded in a single-byte encoding, or even if there is a standard for single-byte encoding. I ran into the same issue with some other Asian languages, like Burmese and Laotian. I hope this helps. I wish I could be more specific--the best I can do is advise you to embed the font, then test it to see if it works.
