On 15th of June 2010, at 3pm BST, the registry of tel-domains will launch Internationalized Domain Names (IDNs) in sixteen languages. If you want tel-domains like Jörn.tel, Júlia.tel or Bjørn.tel, or a Chlöe.tel, or you want to use native script brand names, you will be able to register your own .tel name in your own language from Tuesday, 15th June 2010. Initially, Telnic will make available IDNs in Chinese, Danish, Finnish, German, Hungarian, Icelandic, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish.
Further languages will be added in future based on community feedback and availability of language tables.
Registrations will be on a first-come, first served basis.
