It's a little more complex that just using the browser to do a simple translation. Most browsers already translate IDNs to and from Unicode. However, they had to consider all manner of technical and security issues, one of which is spoofing using domain homologues, i.e. domain names that look identical but are in fact different. E.g paypay.com written in Russian where the 'o' looks the same in ASCII and Cyrillic script.

HUH!!! It will be up and running in the middle of 2010 really! why so long...... Surly it could be done at the browser level (which they have in every language) e.g. You type in at the end of the URL .&^.(%~+ which is Martian for .co.mars and the browser converts .&^.(%~+ into .co.mars um why has it taken so long?
