With IDN names, unless it is developed you may not get any typein traffic.
It will be very rare that people will type खोज.com, they will either enters खोज.कॉम or just खोज.

My Japanese and Chinese idns get type-in traffic on a weekly basis - otoh, my .US never get type-in after many mths, except for 1 or 2 bots.

As for Arabic idns, i got a few US OVT 2k to 95k, but i have not parked them (sedo doesn't accept arabic), so i dunno, but feedback from several other domainers imply traffic.

Of course, all the idns i talked about had OVT, i can't seem to get OVT for Hindi terms though. OVT should be accurate for India, Yahoo being very popular in India. My guess is that native speakers do online searches in English, even if they were to write letters or post on forums in Hindi.
