NeuStar the Administration company for the gTLD .biz have announced that IDN (International Domain Names) orders can be made in Japanese and Chinese character sets.

Currently .biz also accepts the following language sets, German, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic and Spanish making it one of the most internationally accepted IDN domains.

“China and Japan are two of the world’s largest markets for IDNs, and BIZ is the first global domain to implement Chinese and Japanese IDNs in a manner that fully respects the linguistic cultures of both language groups,” commented Richard Tindal, vice president of domain name services at NeuStar. “With IDNs becoming more prevalent, we expect that .BIZ will become an essential component of every savvy international company’s media mix, particularly among firms with large Chinese- and Japanese-speaking customer bases. Because .BIZ is a generic TLD, it is global in scope, and can reach businesses that operate in these languages anywhere around the world.”
