Represents first non-Latin script to be used in a web address
Dubai The Dubai eGovernmentDubai eGovernment
has launched its Dubai.emarat Arabic internet domain of the official portal of the Dubai Government and corresponds to the Latin domain Dubai.ae.
The initiative for the first time will allow Arab users to use the Arabic web address of the Dubai Government’s portal.
The development comes after the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) recently adopted Arab-ic as the first non-Latin script to be used in writing the web address in the URL address reserved for what is known as “domain name”.
This was a result of relentless efforts by the UAE officials and their counterparts in Saudi Arabia and Egypt under the umbrella of the Arab League.
The achievement reflects the commitment of the Dubai eGovernmentDubai eGovernment to support the efforts and plans of the UAE Government, which aims to maintain the country’s national identity by promoting the Arabic language and encouraging its use in all areas.
