DataMail

Email is being traditionally used as the most eminent mode of formal and informal communication from past many years. Until few years back the only barrier while using emails was that traditional email addresses were limited to English alphabets and a few special characters.  And as a known fact, approximately 80% of the world’s population does not speak English which made it impossible for them to communicate in their own languages via web or e-mail addresses.

What is IDN e-mail?

It was then when the first IDN, i.e. International Domain Name was installed in the DNS root zone, the need for having linguistic email addresses was accomplished. IDN e-mail is an e-mail that comprises international characters which are encoded as UTF-8. You must wonder what are international characters. These are the characters that do not exist in ASCII character set. An IDN which is also an Internet Domain Name adheres to ICANN protocols and standards in order to support domain names written in multifarious languages. These IDNs are reserved in Domain Name System (DNS) as ASCII strings using Punycode transcription.

Why Should We Go for IDN e-mail Address?

English which was considered as the default internet language, with the IDN e-mail address system, is no longer the only king. This system not only allowed users to navigate the internet without using the English language but also let them cherish the fact that the e-mail domain names are made available in their own languages. It allows people to use almost any language in their e-mail address whilst providing full customization for the username of an email address.

In August, 2016 Xgen Plus, an email management solution enterprise,  launched IDN mailbox in 7 different languages on bharat domains.

DataMail, developed by DATA Xgen Technologies, leveraged the benefit of the IDN mailbox and provided its users with an advantage of communicating in their native language. It offered users free email addresses and their domain names in their preferred language. Through this, it solved the issue of the digital gap amongst people because of inability to comprehend and use English language proficiently. With this initiative, the inconvenience of using ‘English-only’ email addresses is now considerably abated. Currently, it provides vernacular email addresses in 21 National and Foreign languages including English.

A Blessing in Disguise

Now, a Russian can use Russian email address, a Bengali can access Bengali email address, and many others can use their native language email address easily. Internationalized Domain Names which can also be anticipated as the label displayed in a software application ensures that the names written through non-ASCII scripts are rendered to ASCII compatible texts in DNS. It has even led businessmen to build a strong brand name by establishing a stronger global presence.
