billion dollars telecommunication company launching arabic search engine and they never heard of something called "IDNs" .... what a shame!


onkosh.com is more than great news...

people used to search for arabic by typing transliteration of the word in arabic
for example people who used to type aflam which is the transliteration of افلام
now the search engine onkosh.com will search for افلام

Auto-translation for Image Search

Onkosh.com offers another new and exclusive feature that enables search for proper nouns with auto-translation from Arabic to English and vice versa.
For example, Searching for “Ahmed” would also search for the equivalent Arabic “أحمد”. Just as well, if you search for “أحمد”, the auto-translation search will include results for “Ahmed” in English.


they still don't know what are those "xn--mg" things .... haha

You can also search onkosh using your mobile through onkosh.mobi

He probably isn't interested. It not as though that is how they are going to Branding going forward.

He might be waiting to see how the Arabic Aliasing thing is done before he makes his move.
