IDNS Translator

IDNS Translator is a useful piece of software designed mainly as a conversion tool that can turn internationalized domain names into ASCII characters.

Internationalized domain names refer to those words that contain characters pertaining to a different alphabet, for instance Russian, Greek or Chinese, as well as languages that use the Latin alphabet but make use of diacritics, like German, Spanish or French.

The Domain Name System stores IDN using punycode transcription into ASCII, which is basically an acceptable text representation of various native language characters. Such domain names however can only be used with tools specifically created to this purpose.

The diacritics from a website's name are rendered into ASCII using a 'xn-' string in front of the initial word followed by the punycode equivalent, and eliminates the non-Latin character from its name.

In 'Batch' mode, you can load a TXT file with the numerous targeted domains and translate the contents to either IDN or punycode, however you might need, by pressing the 'Translate' button, which will instantly output and open the results file. This way, you finish your work in a fraction of the time.

To conclude, IDNS Translator is an easy to use and efficient application that can easily assist you in converting internationalized domain names to punycode in as little time as possible, saving you a lot of effort in the process.
