在8月5日，周二的傍晚时分，谷歌宣布了谷歌邮箱（Gmail）当天发生的一项历时已久和高度期待的变化，而它也必将被人们铭记，成为互联网电子邮箱历史上最重要的里程碑之一：即客户端开始使用非拉丁字母构成的电子邮箱。 说这是一项“颠覆性”公告都显得轻描淡写。 而世界相关标准设置机构，互联网工程任务组（IETF）自2012年就批准了一套非英语电子邮箱的标准，但是没有一个电子邮件服务提供商真正支持过IETF的这套标准 – 谷歌没有、雅虎没有、Hotmail没有、微软的Outlook没有，也没有任何的中国提供商支持该标准。 在今天之前，这意味着您可以获得一个非英语域名的电子邮箱地址——比如，夏明@域通联达。在线（英文即：simon@tldregistry.online），但是没有人能真正把邮件通过那个地址发送给您！ 今天，我们感谢谷歌打破了这个只限英文字符电子邮箱地址的屏障，让非英语国家的电子邮箱使用者可以用他们的母语以更快、更简单和更便捷的方式发送电子邮件。而互联网本应突破语言的限制，适应人们的多样化需求。 在这份公告中，软件工程师Pedro Chaparro Monferrer说：“世界人口中有不到一半的人使用拉丁字母组成的语言作为母语。而只使用字母A-Z的人数更少。” 测试谷歌邮箱国际化域名电子邮件 在获悉谷歌邮箱具备多语言新功能的数分钟后，我们对系统进行了测试。在下面这个截图当中，我们给一个国际化域名电子邮箱地址发送了一封符合谷歌邮箱新标准的信息。请注意，我们使用了典型中文用户在键盘上打出中文电子邮件地址时会使用的中文模式的点（。），而不是英文模式的点（.）。 然后我们点击发送。邮件被谷歌的电子邮箱服务器接受了，信息正在发送中！ 在下面这个截图中，您可以看到谷歌邮箱的独到用心，它把中文的点转化为英文（ASCII）的点，这样就不会违反IETF标准中对国际化域名电子邮箱的规定了。谷歌邮箱考虑得很周到！ 今天，对于地球上大约一半的互联网用户而言，互联网已经变得更加完善 谷歌明白，世界上因为母语限制而在使用电子邮箱时遇到困难的人数是非常多的。 感谢谷歌的努力，由于使用英文电子邮箱地址引起困惑、麻烦和不便现在已经在很大程度上得以减弱，而最终将会被彻底解决。 我们为谷歌喝彩，并且为我们的中文域名所有者最终能使用电子邮件而感到兴奋。作为世界上第一个支持IETF标准的电子邮件客户端技术提供商，谷歌在打破英文电子邮箱不公平霸主地位以及互联网整体方面迈出了一大步。 “语言不应成为人们相互联系的障碍，迈出了这一步，我们离实现真正全球化电子邮箱就更近一步。”Chaparro Monferrer写道。 我们对此深表赞同。 Mitch Watkins，...

Late in the afternoon of Tuesday, August 5th, Google announced a long-awaited and highly anticipated change that took place today with Gmail, which will surely be remembered as one of the most important milestones in the history of internet email: The “client-side” implementation of non-Latin, character-based email. To say this announcement is “huge” is putting it lightly. While the world’s relevant standards-setting body, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has had a ratified standard for non-English email since 2012, not a single provider of email services – not Google, not Yahoo, not Hotmail, not Microsoft’s Outlook, not any of the Chinese providers – actually supported the IETF standard. Before today, this meant that while you could get an email address for your non English domain name – say, 夏明@域通联达。在线 (translated: simon@tldregistry.online in Chinese), nobody could actually send you emails to that address! Today, thanks to Google, this English-specific email address barrier has been broken, and will now allow non-English speaking email users to email in their native language, making the process of emailing faster, easier, and more efficient. And that’s the way the internet should be for everyone, regardless of what language you speak. In the announcement, Software Engineer Pedro Chaparro Monferrer states, “Less than half of the world’s population has a mother tongue that uses the Latin alphabet. And even fewer people use only the letters A-Z.” Testing IDN Email in Gmail Within minutes of learning about Gmail’s new multi-lingual capabilities, we tested the system. In the screenshot below, we have addressed a new standard Gmail message to an IDN Email address. Note that we used the “Chinese dot” (。) rather than the ASCII/English dot (.) which is what a typical Chinese user would do when typing a Chinese email address. Then we hit send. The message was accepted by Google’s email server, and the message was on its way! In the screenshot below, you can see that Gmail was particularly nice and converted the Chinese dot to an ASCII dot, so as to not break the IETF standard for IDN email. Nice touch, Gmail! Today, the internet changed for the better for around half of Earth’s internet users Google understands that the number of people around the world that experience difficulty using email simply because of what language they speak, is exponentially high. Thanks to Google, the confusion, hassle, and inconvenience of using English-only email addresses is now considerably diminished, and will eventually be completely dissolved. We applaud Google and are very excited that our many owners of Chinese domain names can finally use email. As the first email client technology provider in the world to support the IETF standard, the company has taken a big step...

今天下午晚些时候(2014年八月五日,星期二,)网络电子邮件的变革迎来了里程碑式的值得历史性铭记的一刻,经过长期的等待,谷歌宣布,其 Gmail 邮箱的“客户端”可以完全执行非拉丁字符的国际化域名电子邮件。 其实用“重要”一词已经不足以说明这一变革的重要性。 虽然在2012年国际相关标准制定机构因特网工程任务组(IETF)对非英语电子邮件已经提出了批准的标准,然而都未得到邮件服务提供商包括谷歌,雅虎,Hotmail,微软Outlook, 或是任何一家中国邮件服务提供商的支持。 在谷歌发布这一消息之前, 域通联达的首席营销官夏明先生就曾提出, 虽然你可以获得一个非英文字符域名而命名的国际化域名邮件地址,例如:夏明@域通联达。在线,但是实际上没有人会把邮件发到这样的一个邮件地址中。 如今, 我们要感谢谷歌,对于英文邮件地址的束缚终于被打破了,这就意味着非英语的邮件使用者可以用他们的母语更快捷,高效的进行邮件的使用。这也就意味着,互联网服务于每一个使用者,无论他们说何种语言。 对于此次的宣布, 软件工程师Pedro Chaparro Monferrer提到,世界上不到一半的人口的母语是使用拉丁字母,而甚至更少部分人只使用字母A-Z作为其语言的构成。 Gmail测试非英文国际化域名(IDN)邮件地址 经过几分钟对于Gmail多语种新功能的了解, 我们对其系统进行了测试, 在下面的截图中已经为您详细呈现,我们输入新标准的Gmail 邮件到其国际化域名(IDN)地址中,请注意,我们输入的是中文字符的“中文点(句号)”而不是美国信息交换标准码(ASCII)或者是英文字符的.点,这是典型的中国人在写中文邮件中所应该用到的。 点击发送邮件。我们可以看到邮件可以完全被谷歌邮件服务器识别,之后,邮件就可以顺利发送出去了! 在下面的截图中,Gmail可以非常棒的顺利将中文字符的点转换成ASCII的点字符,这样完全没有违背因特网工程任务组(IETF)对IDN邮件所制定的标准,Gmail给了用户很棒的体验! 如今,谷歌的这一重大宣布,提升了世界一半网民使用互联网的效率谷歌深知有大量的世界各地的互联网用户由于其所说不同语言, 并且各地的不同语言在成指数速度迅速增长,其要面对由于语言问题使用邮件所带来的不便。 感谢谷歌帮助世界各地的互联网用户大大减少了由于只用英文邮件地址收发邮件所带来的困扰,不便,并且相信最终会彻底解决该问题。 我们衷心的为谷歌所作出的这一决定喝彩!我们非常高兴的看到我们很多的中文域名的拥有者终于可以使用中文域名作为他们的邮件地址。谷歌成为全球第一家用实际行动来支持IETF标准的电子邮件客户端技术提供商。谷歌也在打破由英文邮件地址所垄断的环境中迈出了重要的一步,也改变着整个互联网的态势。 Chaparro Monferrer 说道:“语言不应成为我们与他人联络的障碍,如今,全球电子邮件的发展正在一步步的接近于我们的现实生活”。 我们完全同意这一观点。 Mitch...

We are excited to announce that TLD Registry’s CEO Arto Isokoski and CMO Simon Cousins will be highlighted guest speakers at India's inaugural World Domain Day. To be staged in Hyderabad, India on August 24th, Arto and Simon will build upon TLD Registry’s already well-established résumé as the world's leading experts on Chinese domain names. Increasing numbers of bloggers, domain name investors, governments, enterprises and even new Chinese parents are realizing the immense value and opportunity that Dot Chinese Online (.在线) and Dot Chinese Website (.中文网) have to offer the internet. The fact that both Arto and Simon will be championing the world's leading Internationalized Domain Names to India's most influential domain name investors will provide increased support for growth of the Chinese domains under management. World Domain Day India provides a unique opportunity for TLD Registry to further highlight its successful and exciting new business platform to an audience of those involved in the domaining sector specific to India. Conversely, Indian investors also have a unique opportunity to network with TLD Registry and connect with a market that may be extremely valuable in terms of achieving their business goals. An important part of the TLD Registry presentation at World Domain Day India will be to focus on the excellent opportunities to register valuable "category killer" Chinese domains, using the company's new tool ChineseLandrush.com. ChineseLandrush.com offers ordinary domain investors the expert support to register great Chinese domains without knowing a word of Chinese. We are confident that Arto and Simon will perpetuate the major benefits Dot Chinese Online and Dot Chinese Website have, and how important those IDNs will be for the domaining and consumer market world as ASCII is slowly, yet progressively, escorted out the door. By doing this, we are opening the door to the best of the best IDNs, and have the chance to make that known to people at one of the newest domain name conferences of the year. Along with Arto and Simon, several other guest speakers will be in attendance at World Domain Day, including .CLUB's Jeffrey Sass, Dr. Ajay Kumar, Vikram Ahuja, James Wester, and many more. Arto and Simon will be speaking in the afternoon -- World Domain Day's venue is the the main auditorium of the five-star Avasa Hotel in Hyderabad.
