The Internet Goes Polyglot

"You won't have noticed, but yesterday the internet's plumbing underwent one of its most fundamental changes in 20 years. The domain name system now supports 11 non-English languages, for the first time in their native non-Roman scripts.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers yesterday morning added the top-level domain “.test” in Arabic, Persian, Russian, Hindi, Greek, Korean, Yiddish, Japanese, Tamil and two flavors of Chinese, to the DNS's root servers."
