List of International Domain Names for Loughborough University, Loughborough College and Loughborough Students Union
Author: Matthew Wittering | Published: 14th December 2009
André Schappo of Loughborough University Computer Science department is hot on the case of International Domain Names for the University, College and Students Union. I am sure that he would not be too embarrassed when I say he is quite the aficionado of Internationalization and Localization.
For sometime now André has been registering IDNs for which map to a lboro.ac.uk, loucoll.ac.uk and lufbra.net. Presently I am not aware of any international content on these websites but I am sure that it is only a matter of time. The first adopter of international content will probably will be the Students Union which looks to constantly build and improve the experience of both home and international students. This will probably been generated by the International Students Association.
That aside if you would like to stay up to date on André progress to Internationalise Loughborough you should follow André Schappo on Twitter. Below are some of Andrés IDNs. More can be also found at Andrés International Domain Names page.
