Google has added multi-language support, by supporting Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA), to Webmaster Tools which will allow webmasters from non-English speaking regions to use all the functionality of Webmaster Tools in their own language. The added support, among other things, means webmasters will be able to list and track domain names that use characters other than the 26 letters from the English alphabet.

This might become useful for me, since I should now be able to list a domain name written in Cyrillic or Latin Serbian letters (example: Google = Гугл in Cyrillic Serbian). I haven’t given it a try yet, but I will soon.

Google is asking for feedback for the new changes, and suggestions for further improvements.
