DNS stands for Domain Name System and is the process the Internet uses for addressing web pages. Users of some systems, especially older systems, may encounter problems in certain languages when trying to reach multilingual domain names. It is anticipated that these instances will be rare and we are working rapidly to resolve as many such issues as possible.
Multilingual support is dependant upon many factors.
Because the internet is a vast interconnection of computers and networks of varying type, there can still be 'legacy' devices that are not compliant with recent developments, such as multilingual support. Most desktop PCs that have shipped in the last 6-7 years are likely capable. Currently, the difference is that multilingual domain names can only be hosted using its RACE equivalent of the native language domain name. In conjunction with the use of URL Forwarding, multilingual domains can be forwarded to its own RACE equivalent providing a facility to use URL Forwarding without having an existing web address. Otherwise, multilingual domains operate the same way as standard domain names.
