History is made

wot · 05-22-2010, 06:25 PM

Yesterday, one of the biggest events in the history of the Internet took place; non-Latin top-level domains went live in the DNS root zone. In plain English, you can now type the whole of a domain name in Arabic script. Not just the left of the dot (as in dot org) but the right of it, too. The three new top-level domains are السعودية. (“Al-Saudiah”), امارات. ( “Emarat”) and مصر. (“Misr”). They are country code names in Arabic for Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Egypt.

There is more on other IDN forums- thanks to 555 for the above info.

I guess I just see others registering names in what they thought was english when infact, it's not so or not terms we use here and .... as

I do not speak any other language fluent enough to embark on that route, I would be even wiser to stay away from Idns

But it is a boat that I will

at as it sails past as I know those on board .. are gonna have a hellava ride

Myself and the majority of those that are in to IDN do not speak/read the languages that we own and knew nothing when we ventured in to them. A lot of work and mistakes in the learning curve but most got there. Some of the early birds have portfolios that will blow the socks off the big ascii domainers and they will be going on show in the not too distant future- an interesting ride in the next year or two no doubt.

you must be confused if you dont understand that the internet is changing to a way that each and every country will be able to have own their language and extension, the internet has taken 25 years to get to this point

consider that english is not every one's first language

I still dont understand how this is a moment in history for the internet. What advantages will this bring to the common English internet user?

evirtual1 · 05-26-2010, 05:08 PM

sorry friend but it's not about you , its about other people who dont speak english , i could not have made it any clearer in the above post

Alex P · 05-26-2010, 05:15 PM

Oh right because I was interested by the biggest event is history content, thought it was going to be the whole of the internet not just IDN, normally something which has the title biggest event in history effects the whole world. Good luck with your IDN though.

evirtual1 · 05-26-2010, 08:55 PM

the op wrote one of the biggest internet events, not the biggest , in internet terms he is correct

You really don"t get it do you? Of course it affects the whole of the internet and the world-not just your little corner, millions of people will be able to access the internet in their own language. China alone has more speakers of a language other than English, then add Spanish Russian etc.

The Arabic script and idn extensions referred to in the opening thread is simply the first to go live with many countries to follow. A genuine first step in a major world event.

Non-English user country (non latin) bigger than English user country (latin)
, because of that i think wot is right.. it's may be the biggest event

If you had the slightest clue about the demographic and linguistic structure of the world you'd be getting the point.

I think he is simply intimating that your depth and breadth of knowledge outside a certain sphere that you have portrayed in relation to the subject of the thread is somewhat limited.

Alex P · 06-07-2010, 03:30 AM

What ive been trying to point out, is that really this isn't a massive event in internet history, its a big event for those who will use it but not a massive event in internet history.

Well, it clearly shows that the majority of people is affected by this. So it is rather irrelevant whether or not English speakers are affected. That was your whole point, wasn't it?

Absolute classic statement that simply illustrates what the members are trying to impart to you.
