Non - English Domains

In most areas of the Internet, a high level of localization is possible. It is possible to send an email in Chinese or to view a website in Japanese. However, the Internet Domain Name System (DNS) is still based on a subset of the Latin-1 alphabet. Two main efforts are underway to address this problem: RealNames.com, and the Internationalized Domain Name System. A new company, neteka, recently launched another technology to bring multiple alphabets to domain names. See www.minc.org for more information on this topic.One of the most successful developers of multilingual domain name technology is i-DNS.net.
