internationalized domain names IDN domain

Welcome to idnLinks.com

Idn links' purpose is to provide webmasters with a depository of information, tools and resources in regards to Internationalized Domain Names (IDN)*.

    One of the biggest challenges Idn webmasters and investors alike face today - besides the fact that all good idn domains are already taken :)- is accurate key-word translation. Unless you're a native speaker of your target language, or you know someone who is, chances are you'll be having a heck of a time trying to get correct translations  of certain words, especially plurals, as most free online dictionaries are somewhat limited to what they offer.

    Many times you'll get different translations from two dictionaries for the same word. Which is the correct one? And, most importantly, is this word used in the same manner in your target country or region, as it is used in your part of the world?
    While there is no fool-proof technicque to solve this, best you can do is lower your chances of ending up with a dud, by using a variety of the resources listed here as well as your noggin.

* For the IDN-challenged: IDNs are domains which are written in scripts other than those based in latin, not excluding latin-based scrip with diacritics.
