Internet addresses set for major change
Prepare to see URLs next year that you will only understand if you read Chinese or Arabic, Japanese or Hebrew, or other non-Latin languages. The world's internet regulator has approved plans to permit web addresses to be created in non-Latin characters, the BBC and many others report.
"It is being described as the biggest change to the way the internet works since it was created 40 years ago," BBC says.
CBC.ca adds, "Languages that use accented Latin characters, such as French, Turkish and Vietnamese, won't be included in this round of internet internationalization."
