Alex, Great Question! Depending on what OS you have you could register a Chinese name using and IME "virtual" Keyboard. MS offers IME for the IE browser. Cheers, James James M.

What is everyone thinking about as it relates to Multi-lingual domain registrations? This service will be available Nov. 1/00 (or when NSI turns it on, whichever comes first) and it represents one of the best new revenue opportunities that has come along in a while (rivalling new gTLD opportunity IMHO). In my mind this presents a great opportunity for our resellers to grab new customers that weren't previously interested in DNR. For instance, have you come up with a plan to communicate the availability of this service to your corporate customers and let them know that they can get their trademarks registered as domain names in foreign languages? There are a ton of angles on this one - I'm incredibly curious to hear where all of you might go with this. Thanks, - -rwr
