There are thousands, if not tens or hundreds of thousands. Whether they have been mined, thought-of or if they're desirable is another matter!

You may want to contact Dave for his private client services. At $100 for the option, it's a bargain.

[IDNCowboy]

what would he do for me? He'd scoop up the name for himself :P

[touchring]

;D You need to hire someone outside of the industry.

A proactive service like g and Dave are offering seems to work well.

Find a list of valuable spanish IDN with relevant stats and sell the list.

[IDNCowboy]

what about all the spanish domain names that already don't have the accent that are currently out? I'm sure the owners will be pissed when their names w/o the accenting become worthless with the appropriate ` marks etc that IDN brings..

[huronargentino]

Yes, there are plenty of them
I am offering some services for right translation on spanish because of that
there are lot of sites that have that problem and they dont even know that!

this is the time to catch them all!

[IDNCowboy]

I've seen the online translators do a much better job on spanish than the other languages....

japanese....... usually 75% good 25% no

[huronargentino]

But online translator dont allow the most improtant IDN characters like á or ü and similars, that are the most important for IDN domains

Not even Systrans?

[huronargentino]

online dictionaries only translate without "acentos" that are the most important things in the IDN´s
and that its a big problem!

for example, if you translate "more" into spanish will tell you "mas" when actually its "más"

[IDNCowboy]

not true systran gives me accents

Of course there are, but are going to be more difficult to find; most likely of the obscure / uncommon variety.

With that said, drop lists may be where you should be looking - use of a paid service may be worthwhile, if they are able to provide accurate, quality drop lists and/or able to grab them on your behalf; conflicts of interest are certainly an issue though - but sometimes one has to take a chance to get ahead.

Actually, it's likely to be the other way around ... people buying western european IDNs will either be sitting pretty or in the poor house; they are a very speculative investment.

The follow-ups in this thread alone about how many translation services ignore accents, etc are very telling which way such IDN conflicts will go - the legacy A-Z domain registrant will likely prevail.

Another issue with to be aware of IDNs is that each is assigned a language tag ... so a spanish language IDN with an accent, etc may be flagged / blocked depending on language(s) defaults of the user's web browser, etc. A non-IDN .COM will resolve universally without warnings, blocking, etc.

Oh dear, so the language tags got a purpose? I thought they are just for show. Can i change the language tags after registration?

Does being professional in your view extend to making slanderous remarks?

No apparently not, but I think the langauge tag is assigned according to the characters entered rather than whatever it says on Domainsites Box. If these are all screwed up for whatever reason Verisign is going to have to sort it out otherwise they will be in contravention of the new ICANN policy on IDN.

Not even sure if you can check which language tags you have.

I have just been looking at this as well as all of my Domainsite reg's will be Afrikaans too...I think something that threw me and made me think it wasn't important was that I used to use DD24 before I found DomainSite and DD24 don't even give you the option of setting it during registration at all. So I have no idea what my DD24 IDN's are tagged as unless like Dave says hopefully the tags are set according to the characters that are entered.

I found something on Verisigns website that alluded to the facility to change the language tags being something that would come in a "future core release" although gave no details and I suspect that page was rather old.

Hopefully this isn't going to be too problematic and can be sorted out before all those people come rushing in wanting to buy our domains....."Why is this Arabic domain pointed to Afrikaans ?.. Erm"
