If a danish user was limited by an english keyboard, he wouldn't be
able to write words like right, on, beer, love, year in his own
language. Would an englishman use a keyboard without three vital
english vocals? I don't think so. Why expect danes to act
differently?
In the last twenty years I've seen two keyboards in Denmark without
the three special danish vocals (they both had special spanish
characters instead). :o)
99+ percent of the users on my website are danish, and they are
located in Denmark. If I had an international target group, I would
get a .com domain name using only english characters. But that's not
the case.
Now that even Internet Explorer at long last understands non-english
letters, I only wish that Google Maps API would too. At least Google
Maps could go half the way by supporting punycode (e.g. xn--
kreskole-54a.dk). By supporting puny-code, they would support ALL non-
english languages in the world.
My point is, that most people on this planet speaks another language
than english. Shouldn't Google try to support that on the API-side?
