I am trying to implement it but it seems google maps has difficulties with IDN, on the google user groups I only find more confusion, does anyone here have experience with google maps + IDN ?

Mulligan has a Japanese site with Google Maps, IIRC.

Thanks, I'll send him an email.

In the groups I see that the problem was noted in 2005, how hard can it be to implement a punyconverter :confused: .

The maps seem to require 1 API for each domain.
This might be the problem?

I am afraid the url's are urlencoded, the maps api works per folder, so example.com/[utft8]/ will workout fine but [utf8].com ends up like %bla%bla%.com.

I didn't find a general solution but as an individual user I can take the extension of the idn whitelist so that punycode is always displayed, this is very very nasty :mad: .
