If you mean these 2 Chinese are referred to domain names, I think you could be wrong. "Domain" could refer to many things in Chinese, one is domain name of course, however, these 2 Chinese IDN names are not "domain names" in Chinese.

According to several online translators they are as well as other investigation. Please explain why you do not think these characters stand for "domain"

Sorry, can't explain, the words are what they are
You may ask the other people who speak Chinese and I am sure they will tell you the same of what I said.

In general you can't just translate english keywords to chinese, it will simply be to general, it's important to know that the length is not really a value indicator.

Have to agree with much of the comment put in previously, but don't be discouraged, as we can all learn from mistakes. Believe me I have made a few.

I am now getting on top of the problem of evaluating domain names. I have been using Ouverture for some months to access the value of Chinese IDN, but it has its limitations as few actually register a score at all.

Recently I have looked at Baidu.com, which has an advertising programme similar to Google. 10 Adverts Good, None Very Bad. Yesterday, I went onto 3721. This is much more useful. Will give a score in the range 0-1200. We scored a lot of 1200s but also quite a few noughts, but at least we will have a good idea about which ones to drop. You don't have to be a linguist to do this , I have speculated in Russian, Czech, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic and Hindi. Having said that it can be an advantage!

In terms of evaluation these particular domains are not worth a great deal, although they do throw up some advertising at Baidu. In general, in the current market you will be struggling to get $xx,xxx even for a very high quality domain, but prices will increase dramatically once these domains run native on Microsoft Software and SEDO brings on the revenue streams.

I Can't read chinese

No, but I bet you are passing up some magnificent opportunities in Arabic. I have 3/4 of the Arabic alphabet as isolated form dot coms and dot nets. These dropped last year and are worth a fortune!

The sad thing there no one use the arabic alphabet for surfing through internet.

But i still wonder what the letters was?

Sorry to say, but no, they don't mean "domain names". Close, but not there yet. We all know that the word "domain" could mean like "territory" or "sphere", and those 2 mean exactly just that. Better luck next time.

Do you know why you got it wrong? You got it wrong in English first.

When we say domain, we actually mean domain name.

So,

Domain = 領域
Domain name = (領域名 or) 域名

Hope it helps.

Thanks for that 領域名 produced 466 Adverts on www.3721.com, which seems to confirm your translation. Both the dot com and dot net were available so I snaffled them! Thanks Again.

But sorry, you're a little too fast .

The Chinese like to use 2 characters rather than 3, so 域名 is its popular form.

Of course but that went years ago! March 2001 by a Chinese Speculator from the UK! The thing that people forget about China is the shear size of the market. There will be room for both IDN and romanic forms in both .com and .cn and people still won't get what they want.

Nobody would turn their nose up at domainname.com just because they were too late for domain.com.

You are quite right Dave. I believe Chinese IDN will worth a lot later because the Chinese find it very hard to remember LENOVO, but they can instantly associate 聯想 with its company.

I have worked in Multi-lingual cultures, and the ability to speak English does nothing to reduce peoples desires to indulge their own culture when away from the work-place.

It is generally the seller who has to make the effort to communicate, not the buyer. But in any case the real market will be Chinese on Chinese, why the hell would they want to use an English Address system.

The acceptance of IDN is assured, it the timescale that is in doubt.

Well,

I have probably fallen into the same trap or Domainsite.com have sold me something that cannot be registered, but what do you make of these?

xn--fiqs8s.cn 中国.cn
xn--fiqw8j.cn 中华.cn

Also are these the same as:

中国.中国
中华.中国

or have I just totally misunderstood the way the system works?

Chinese, or actually non-Latin (non-alphabetic) based languages ARE by nature difficult to learn. I guess you need to hire a human translator who KNOWS not only the language but also the culture (and sub-culture), instead of relying on machines. Good luck.

Actually, that was a bit tongue in Cheek. I am 100% on the translations of these two (the 1493 on overture for the first is confirmation enough for me). Been at this long enough to recognise the symbols for China, when I see it!

However, whilst Domainsite.com tells me they have registered them to me, I don't actually believe them somehow!
