The full introduction of <strong>Internationalized Domain Names<\/strong> (domain names represented by local language characters and could contain letters or characters from non-ASCII scripts) will mean that people can write the whole of a domain name in the characters used to write their own language!<\/p>\n<p>The wiki links should become live on the ICANN site in a few hours as per the notice. Stay ready to get the .test domain of your choice.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update:<\/strong> The wikis are now live and can be accessed by typing example.test in the characters of one of the 11 languages, or by going to <a href=\"http:\/\/idn.icann.org\/\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/idn.icann.org<\/a>.
