Just to give you an idea that there is traffic (and this is type-in) to IDN’s, here’s a list of the amount of traffic I got to my most popular IDN in various languages last month:

French (Canadian) 6415
French 3059
Turkish 2450
Hungarian 1360
Spanish 998
Russian 877
Persian 715
Russian (2 letter) 658
German (Austrian) 519
German 499
Russian (3 letter) 492
Japanese 480
Arabic 348
Polish 294

No way to compare each one because the domains are of varying qualities, but the traffic IS THERE, as you can see.

In time, I suspect people will begin to split IDN's into two groups: Latin-script and non-Latin-Script. German is a language which has only a few characters on the keyboard that are different in comparison to say, Chinese, which has a keyboard full of different letters. From what I can tell so far, the latin-script languages are growing faster than the others, although German could actually be skewing the results due to the quick implementation of IDN's into their society there.

A difference in traffic would account to browser compatibility. Once IE6 is no longer the browser God, type-in should increase significantly for IDNs--especially after there is awareness. Francois…

Otherwise I do not see anything logical to explain why the type in traffic should have doubled in just one year like if people behavior was different today than a year ago or the german internet population doubled. Now my doubts don't change anything to the fact it appears some IDN domains are getting a strong type in traffic. Nico, thanks a lot to have shared your experience.
