Я пыталась работать с людьми, в отношении не на английском языке, веб-сайты и обеспечения продаж в страны, не свои собственные. Одна вещь, я сделал заключается в том, чтобы объяснить, как люди могут пользоваться переводом средств, чтобы получить их продаж информации на языках, которые они направлены. К сожалению, я есть замечания о том, что даже некоторые html инструменты могут не справиться с кириллицы (http://cindyking.biz/stop-pushing-your-foreign-visitors-away/), и когда я поместил статью о ezinearticles.com некоторые русские слова , на русском языке был включен в то, что, как представляется, случайных цифр и букв.

Я считаю это позор, что Вы не имеющие возможности использовать кириллицу, но думаю, что в долгосрочной перспективе это позволит использовать только один алфавит - для торговли, если ничего другого.

Я живу во Франции и французы оскорблены, что они не могут использовать акцентированных букв в их доменных имен.

I have been trying to work with people concerning non-English web sites and making sales to countries not your own. One thing I did was to explain how people can use translation tools to get their sales information in languages that they target. Unfortunately, I have comments that even some html tools can not handle the Cyrillic alphabet (http://cindyking.biz/stop-pushing-your-foreign-visitors-away/) and when I posted an article on ezinearticles with some Russian words, the Russian was switched into what seems to be random letters and numbers.

I feel it a shame that you will not be having the ability to use Cyrillic, but think in the long run it will help to only use the one alphabet - for commerce if nothing else.

I live in France and the French are offended that they can't use the accented letters in their domain names.

I admire all technologies - I am actually from the UK but please dear god - never under any circumstances read "the Guardian" !!

I agree that this could be a money making scheme (they are good at that) surely a translate table of some-kind on the .RU / .RF DNS Systems between Latin and Cyrillic characters would actually be an easier option, plus would be less hidden, because a russian "a" would translate to a latin "a" (this is of course not the case again with Unicode)

money making maybe, but please don't read the Guardian!

Poor imagination of Russian people often helps them to fight craziness of western civilization. When the plan to open cyrillic domain names was announced last year, it didn't make much noise in Russia. The idea is simple: people want to use Russian web-adresses, but they don't want to mix cyrillic and latin letters in it, because such a mixture would help criminals to make fake web-cites. The solution: domain names in .RU zone will be in latin only, as it was before, because RU suffix is already in Latin. And new cyrillic names will be registered with new domain suffix .RF (spelled in cyrillic only!), so the whole domain name will be in cyrillic letters. Russian critics of this plan say this is nothing but another money-making scheme for the domain registrators.

But West go nuts about it. The Guardian's article "Kremlin eyes internet control" is the wildest non-science fiction we've seen so far. First, it says "Russian Cyrillic keyboards make it difficult for Russian users to search for domain names using the roman letters" - false, all our keyboards get latin letters (though some get no cyrillics yet). Second, it says "Russian international domain names would use their own root servers" - false again. The root has not been split, said Vint Cerf; what is more important, there is no need to split roots to control the traffic, and China proved this already.

Third, cyrillic domains somehow "will put a wall between cybercriminals and their victims... makes it very difficult to track Russian cybercrime", said Guardian's no-one-knows-who experts. Sure they don't see (or don't want to tell?) the whole picture. Look: criminal RBN network moved from Russia to China, music pirate MP3Sparks.com moved to Turkey, same businesses Allofmp3.com and MuzF.ru shut down by Russian authorities. Even Google, the worldwide spy #1 and the worldwide security breach #1, is scared to open its new spy services in our country. Doesn't Russia fight cybercriminals, huh?

So the only clear message we got from The Guardian: western security experts and government agencies want more money. For this purpose, they use media to create Big Enemy Image and start Cold War 2.0. And the worst thing is: the provocation started to work on Russian side. The fake story of "isolated Internet plan" made up by one British newspaper is already picked up by Russian bloggers and press. Some Russian politicians already use it saying the idea is good, and discuss who is to be in charge for this project. Our only hope is that poorness of Russian imagination will save us again, and this crazy British dream won't come true.
