It’s always interesting to see how different extensions or keywords translate to other countries and potential target markets. Though, I have to admit, even with inside information on hot trends like this I find myself hesitant to invest in a market that has a different primary language than my own. I’ve found it to be very difficult trying to negotiate effectively when you are unable to translate a language accurately into your own (and vice versa).
I even have difficulty with .gr domains. 🙂
