Domain names to soon be available in Hindi, Bengali and other regional languages

Firstpost  

Getting an Internet domain name in English is passé, now get ready to have it in regional languages. ICANN has been working towards building the rules for secure and stable definition of the top-level domains for scripts used globally so that people with no knowledge of English are able to go online and access the websites with the domain names completely in their languages. The work will allow domain names to be available for these people in their languages,” the ICANN India head said. When asked that searching content in regional languages is already possible in Google and other search engines, he said the current effort is focused on enabling the domain names in regional languages, which in turn would enable the system to publish local language content being searched. “This work for defining rules for the domain names for languages spoken in India is underway with a dedicated community-based panel,” he said.
