Non-english domain names soon here - 10-06-2007, 11:23 AM
11 TLDs with non-english characters are being tested.


Quote:
If the global tests go well, non-English domain names could be in use by the end of 2008.

Users outside the United States long have clamored for non-English domain-name scripts, finding restrictive the current limitation to the letters A through Z, the numbers 0 through 9 and the hyphen.

The 11 suffixes now under review will read "test" in Arabic, Persian, simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, Russian, Hindi, Greek, Korean, Yiddish, Japanese and Tamil.
