Also: Indischen.com

I would appreciate your appraisals. Etiópia has 2.5 million Google results and is "Ethiopia" in several major languages, including Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.

Indischen is German for Indian. The keyword has 3.9 Google results.

you are right about portuguese
but not about spanish and italian

the question is how many portuguese speakers know and use IDN .com's
- not many

and

indischen is NOTHING
zero value
do not trust automatic translators

Thanks dominator. Thanks for your advice concerning automatic translators. I used an online dictionary, but I will be more cautious in the future. Yes, it looks like "Ethiopia" in Italian is "Etiopia" without an accent, and in Spanish the accent is over the second 'i'. My mistake. This is a Portuguese word.

Interestingly, of these three languages, guess which one I HAVEN'T studied. Clearly, I didn't do too very well in my Italian and Spanish classes.

As for Indischen, I don't speak German and was going entirely on what an online dictionary told me and on the world's usage as found on Google. If you say it has no value and doesn't mean "people or things related to India," as I'd been led to think it believes, I can't argue with you. But "Indischen" clearly is not "nothing." It is used in the German translation of "Indian Ocean" and yields almost 4 million results on Google. It means something. And it seems to me that it just might mean "Indian."

If there are German speakers here who can tell me what Indischen means and has thoughts on the value of Indischen.com, I would greatly appreciate it.

Indian Ocean = Indischer Ozean
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indischer_Ozean

Indian = Indisch

"indischen" is a form that exists but it can NEVER be used alone
without (usually) two words before and one word after it is a total nonsense
(in case of "im" and "am" it is actually two words merged, "in dem" and "an dem" respectively)

there are 12 million .de domains
but indischen . de does not exist
do you know why?

you can register it if you want
for germans .de are 10 times more valuable than .com

anyway, in this case: 0 x 10 = 0

Thank you for the lesson. Clearly I shouldn't go fishing for domains in languages I have zero familiarity with.
