I'd like to add IDN search to my Software Program

[x11joex11]

I'm the creator of DNFinder, located at dnfinder.net. The software lets you search to see if domain names are available using a wide range of useful tools and dictionaries to locate the best words. I'm curious if someone has a list of the the 1000 most common words in english translated in punycode (the x35-353.com stuff) so that I can check them for availability faster for people =). I can donate $NP for the trouble or add a link in my software for you ^^. I'm planning on updating my software this friday with some new features.

Or if someone knows a site that can translate those words and characters from other languages to puny code that'll help in this effort as well.

Thanks a lot!

I think you should specify what language you want them translated into.
example xn--ddkyb8b.com (ホテル.com)is Hotel In Japanse , xn--hxt324i.com (酒店.com)Is Hotel In Chinese ,

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by this. Do you mean the 1000 most popular words translated into other languages? If that's the question then there are a few online dictionaries that translate English to multiple languages - like Systranet.com and Ectaco.com.

If you're looking for a punycode converter - meaning a script that converts unicode to punycode and vice versa then IDNtools.net is the place to go.

If you could clarify your questions hopefully we can help.

Unfortunatly IDNtools.net makes you pay for there services, I'd rather someone explain the scripting to how it converts I'm smart , I can figure it out and add it into my software. I'll start with japanese and chinese, then move onto other IDN's.

In the first response, "xn--ddkyb8b.com (ホテル.com)is Hotel In Japanse", I'm looking for someway when I type in ホテル, it converts it to...xn--ddkyb8b.com, because in my program I'll need that xn-ddkyb8b.com to check for availability since I can't check using foreign characters. I'll need the script to be more exact for how that calculation is done, any ideas?

I dont know much about coding but i can you that this a is a bulk domain checker and would convert characters into punny code or you.... http://www.domainsite.com/check_bulk.php, or you can just sign up to idntool.net for a month and then cancell it only like 5 bucks.

I don't know the process myself but I'm sure if you Google "punycode" or "punycode conversion" you'll be able to find what you're looking for. Punycode is not a proprietary concept so I believe there's enough documentation out there to help you figure it out.

I was going to do that if this failed here =P, thanks for the help, but still to save time if anyone just knows off the bat just post here.

Domainsite.com does this for you. They use a script by Blue Rider

http://punycode.bluerider.com/idn/

Other conversion tools can be found at both IDNForums.com and DNF. There is also a service at IDNPros.com.

Thanks so much, this will really help, I have now have a plan to make a system implement a check to common words in different languages for registrations against different tlds =).

The specifications for converting strings into Punycode are in RFC3454, RFC3490, RFC3491 and RFC3492. Look them up here,
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfcsearch.html

There is a PHP class here,
http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/1509.html

Yeah, that's the same class i'm using for my new whois Fairly easy to use.

 

[x11joex11]

wow, thanks a lot I got the code in the PHP source now I can make this really cool!, I'll add in IDN capabilities soon ^_^.

It sounds like you already found what you're looking for, but here's more IDN punycode conversion code to look at:

Net_IDNA

This class is our contribution to the Open Source Community and that's why it is licvenced under the LGPL (GNU Lesser General Public Licnece), i.e. it can be used in non-comercial and commercial projects.

To use Net_IDNA in your own appications, you just need to include() or require() the source and instantiate the class with
$idn = new Net_IDNA().
The object offers two methods - encode() for converting an UTF-8 string to Punycode format and decode() for the opposite direction.
