How to make an IDN? - zach - 08-01-2006 Hi I was wondering how to form an internationalized domain name (IDN). I would like to know how to write an IDN in ASCII, so that I can register it. Thanks Zach How to make an IDN? - llegent - 08-01-2006 Hi zach, I don't understand other language eg Arabic, Russia, Japan, Korea...etc. But I do understand chinese language. To input chinese character, I am using this tool from Microsoft :- Microsoft Pinyin IME 3.0 . It can be downloaded for free. Just google for "Microsoft Pinyin IME 3.0" Eg :- "哈哈" --> similiar to How to make an IDN? - deelip - 08-10-2006 I actually didnt understand the problem and answer too. Are you guys talking about the domain names on such non english language? How to make an IDN? - llegent - 08-10-2006 Hi deelip, Yup you are right. We are refering to those non-english characters auch as Russian, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean...etc. Before I get to know in realizing about IDN, I always though that domain names could only exist in combination of english alphabets, but I get to know later that those IDN are actually a booming market to tap into too. How to make an IDN? - deelip - 08-10-2006 Oh. I am in internet since some 3 three years. But never saw these kind of domain. can you let me see one? How to make an IDN? - llegent - 08-10-2006 Hi deeplip, Ok, here are some :- プレステ2.com (This domain is park at SEDO) แอบถ่าย.com (Park at namedrive, appear in Punycode as "xn--n3chz5b1a0g6b.com" федерация.com (Park at NameDrive, appears in Punycode as "xn--80ahcbq0cyav6f.com") 电子邮件.net (also parked domain, appear in Punycode as "xn--5nqx41agiu29y.net" ) Well, I also don't understand what those domain mean, IDN is also a new field for me at the moment. It takes time to get familiar with it if you want to venture into this section. Good luck. How to make an IDN? - deelip - 08-11-2006 Those domains are really hard to see from outside the country. Isnt that? If the domain is in chinese then how can i type in chinese from nepal .Generally i do not have chinese font. So those domains are only usefull for china if that is chinese domain .
