Internet domain names in indian languages are about to become reality soon,according to the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) .

Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) organised recently a workshop on International Domain Names in an effort to spread awareness.

Even though Tulika Pandey announced in the past that having  domain names in an Indian script was impossible,now with the combined efforts of ICANN and the Government of India ,Indian language domain names would soon be a reality .

“The workshop is a crucial factor� to determine the success of the IDN initiative in Indian languages. Although there is no doubt that it signals at a� positive time for the acceptance of Indian languages on the World Wide Web, there will be a number of issues that will require deliberation for its smooth implementation, security and confidentiality, within that framework. Both stakeholders and the industry have to come forward to iron out the underlying issues and set the standards towards raising the confidence level of the user community, and thereby its wide acceptance,” said Tulika Pandey.

C-DAC,Pune,DIT and other branches of the C-DAC have worked for three years to developed a policy document for IDNs in Indian Languages.The languages covered are : Marathi, Hindi, Konkani, Sanskrit and Nepali, Punjabi, Malayalam, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Assamese, and Bangla.
