Writing dialogue is not as hard as you're letting it seem. You have dialogue all the time -- it's called talking. If you honestly cannot think of what your characters are going to say to one another, you need to go take a break and go somewhere out in public. Sit somewhere in the middle of a crowd for one to two hours and just listen to people talking. Then, go home and write down some of the things you heard people saying. That's dialogue.

When you need to have your characters talk, just pretend it's you and a friend (or several friends), and have them say something you'd probably say in the same situation. Then imagine what your friends would say in reply, and go back and forth that way. As you become a better writer, your characters themselves will "tell" you what they want to say, because they become like real people to you.

You just write what each character says in each language, just as any other sort of dialogue.

It's not clear whether you're asking about the punctuation and capitalization or about the actual writing process.

Here are the basics:

  • Start a new paragraph whenever the speaker changes
  • Use quotation marks around the words that are spoken
  • Remember to punctuate the sentences properly, also
  • If the speaker is not obvious -- you can make it obvious by having the person speaking doing something while they're speaking! -- then put "___ said" to show
  • Resist the urge to use synonyms for the word "said" -- "said" is a word that the reader will ignore as background, while words like "exclaimed," "hissed," or "shouted" will pull them out of the story and make it awkward
  • Keep it believable -- remember how real people talk and make your characters sound like real people
  • Keep it characteristic - give each character a specific way of speaking and keep them that way throughout the book unless you have a good reason to change them
