As I remember if I made a settings on Apache like this:

AddDefaultCharset   UTF-8

Then I can only use this charset, but now I'm facing a problem that my
client requesting for multi-language support (big5, gb2312, etc). And
I cannot simply remark the upper Apache script because it will affect
another website in the server and also I cannot change the client
program code anymore(eg: change file name into xxx.php.fr to support
French), what can I do to overcome this problem?

Many thanks.

Why?  We have the luxury of this little thing called the Internet,
which means you can look that kind of thing up.

The documentation of AddDefaultCharset tells you to what extent
that is true, and points to how you can override it.

Then look at the documentation of content negotiation for
why that approach will work fine, too.

Wrong. This is the encoding (charset) for documents that
have no encoding (charset) specified otherwise. For example,
you could write into your  .htaccess  file:

AddCharset   iso-8859-1   1
AddCharset   iso-8859-2   2
AddCharset   iso-8859-5   5

Then your documents  mypage.html.1  anotherpage.html.2
yetanotherpage.html.5  have the encodings ISO-8859-1,
ISO-8859-2, and ISO-8859-5, resp. The URLs could be
written as

http://www.example.com/mypage.html
http://www.example.com/anotherpage.html
http://www.example.com/yetanotherpage.html
