Development question - IDN Forums

rh909 · #1 (**permalink**) 12th November 2011, 06:17 AM

Hi all,

I was wondering, are any of you out there getting your IDN/IDNs developed in a language you are not familiar with? i.e. a native speaker is providing you with content, support, etc..

I know some of you are multi-lingual, but for those of you who only speak English how are you getting your names developed?

Cheers,

you are right...you need a native writer/graphics/programmer/etc.

then, hope and trust in them.

so, you will have heavy vetting and it will cost more than your native language development.

not easy.

I try to develop sites that require little translated content and are easy to set up.

Here is an example: I developed this question/answer site using a name I bought from the forum the other day: http://xn--mgbck6i.com/ (Answers.com). The site relies on user generated content, so it will hopefully grow as the user base grows.

It uses a PhP script that has an Arabic language module, so I didn't have to do any translation myself.
