Domain Name,’ the unique identity to access the web, currently only with Latin characters, will be introduced in Indian languages in India by June 2010.
C-DAC, GIST, P7une, in close association with DIT and with contributions from C-DAC Kolkata and Thiruvananthapuram have evolved a policy document for International Domain Names in Indian languages.
Over three years, out of 22 scheduled Indian languages, work on 14 major languages has been completed. The remaining eight languages would be taken up soon
The awareness workshop for availability of domain names in Indian languages, was an effort of the DIT, Govt of India, C-DAC (Centre for Development of Advances Computing) and NIXI (National Internet Exchange of India - the designated registry in Domain Names.
However, the fact remains the majority of keyboards are not designed to input local languages. So it would be interesting to see how this development is successful in converting "Non users" to internet users.
