.org domains could come in seven new languages
Public Interest Registry is planning support for seven more languages in the .org gTLD.
The company has asked ICANN for permission to support seven additional internationalized domain name scripts: Croatian, Finnish, Hindi, Italian, Montenegrin, Portuguese, and Japanese.
Five of these languages use the Latin script also used in English, but have special accents or diacritics that require IDN tables to support in the DNS.
PIR submitted the request via the Registry Services Evaluation Process, where it is currently being reviewed by ICANN. Such RSEPs are usually approved without controversy.
