India is soon about to witness the introduction of Tamil language domain names. People of Tamilnadu are one of the most prominent users of internet in the world. The percentage of Tamils using internet in Tamil language and looking for Tamil content has also been constantly increasing.
Most of the other language websites are offering Tamil translated versions of their web pages as well, and hence emphasis is made on focusing on Tamil language now. While Google search is always enabled to search text or data in any language and Google displays results, the domain name or website name typed as URL had been always typed only in English.
For instance, one will
be required to type www.apherald.com,
and the same cannot be typed in Tamil. However with Google's new initiative,
the user can type the URL in Tamil itself and access the website. This step has
been taken by Google as a measure to facilitate and increase the Indian
internet user base, by introducing native language domain names.
