Depends on your browser and geotargeting. I get English on IE7 and Korean on Firefox. The interesting thing is though that this does not appear to be URL forwarding but a totally parallel site.

Of course it is if you're in America.

Try typing in google.cn it will be in english because you're from, America.

You keep trying to put down idn but you are failing miserably.

Maybe you should look up "geotargeting" sometime.

Hi Adam,

I am really excited about this. I think this will be the first example of a major site where the ASCII URL gets forwarded to the IDN. Watch this space!

When google.kr comes up put 구글 in the search box, and you will get other options for Google korea. (6,900,000 hits). Click on some of the Google choices to see options and sorting from total internet, to Korean sites only.
The Koreans have virtually scooped up all the idns in their language. Hard to even find a good .net.

Great news for idn holders..thanks for sharing Rubber Duck!

Whether or not you guys like it the day is coming. Look in Korea especially. There are a number of sites now operating solely on IDNs. I have posted one such example on another forum.

I've tried to warn them , to miss a gold rush in your own back yard "Industry" is not for the Faint of Heart. Maybe i should rename the IDNebook that or maybe i should just take it off the market :lol:

A number of sites operating IDN?

This will mean that half of Korea will soon have IDN on their home page!!!!!!!

Furthermore, as Google roll this out around the globe, it will mean half the people that ever mattered for IDN will have IDN as the main URL for their homepage.

Stay tuned for Google to do the same for all languages.

Yes, imagine having to stare at a URL in your own native language.
Do you think they are going to complain? lol
