Hi Sergei,

Hope this helps,

Hello John,

As I understand language code (language tag) required to register
multilingual domain name. Domain name must have characters only within one
language and you must provide this language together with domain name, maybe
registry check if characters of domain match to defined languages, don't
know. Some registrars assign this tag to domain themselves, some, as Tucows
does, require user to provide this code.

More about language tag here:
http://www.verisign.com/nds/naming/idn/faq/langtag_faq.html

BTW, can someone enlight me where I can find character tables for each
language tag ?

JK> "Internationalized domain names" as if domain names were not previously
international.
