[waudo siganga]

They were having problems having to learn Latin scripts just for

Hi Harry - I think this thing is just a compromise because for
the Chinese person how do they type ".com" using Latin script
when (a) they do not know Latin script and (b) Latin script is
missing from their Chinese keyboard.

  I’m not sure this is internationalization or localisation, and
  the first challenge...how do you type .com in Chinese on your
  QWERTY keyboard?
