    | Translation: SüdItalien.com Looking for the translation for this domain: SüdItalien.com I think/hope this is German for > SouthernItaly.com - especially as SüdTirol.info sold for $10,308 - and that was back in 2005.

| Yes, you're correct: "Süd Italien" = "Southern Italy" Nice name, but compared to "SüdTirol" not that commonly used/searched for - Google searches (exact p.m. in Germany): [SüdTirol] 74.000 [SüdItalien] 3.600 cheers John |

| Froschkönig Thanks, John. You wouldn't happen to understand: Froschkönig.com I think it means FrogPrince, but not sure. Seems to be over 25,000 exact monthly searches (in Germany). Some firms even seem to have this name. What do you think?

| it means frog prince (king) indeed, but I am not sure it would be valuable, those searches could be children looking for the popular fairytale...

| Thanks for your input. Seems there are some potential end users, like: Froschkoenig.biz DerFroschkoenig.ch Froschkoenig.com ms-Froschkoenig.ch Froschkoenig-gelsenkirchen.de Froschkoenig-berlin.de Froschkoenig-bar.de Do end users see the value in IDN's? Forgive me for the question, I only started investing in IDN's yesterday (just picked up MéxicoOnline.com).

| If you have the funds, invest. I think IDNs won't be popular until they're not shown normally in all popular browser address bars, nobody likes xn--something-something.com But with German IDNs I think it's one of the safest ways to go, Germans like their umlauts and other special signs
