流动.cn, got it through preregistration :) .

What do you think of the name and what about IDN.cn in general compared to IDN.com ?

[哈啦]

流动.cn


do u mean to mobile.cn? 流动.cn is not a correct term of "mobile", actually, 流动 means water flows. So there is no value of 流动.cn IMO.

如果是 mobile...
大陸習慣稱為「移動」...

他應該就是指這個，但中文光說「移動」.cn也不成一個有用的網址。前面有的加品牌例如中國移動，或者後面加名詞，例如移動電話之類的。外國人靠著翻譯軟體來找中文網址確實很困難的。

It says something with "flow" for chinese traditional, with chinese simplified it gives "mobile" , can you confirm that chinese simplified is also translated differently ?

[哈啦]

can you confirm that chinese simplified is also translated differently ?


what do u mean to confirm? mobile should come up with "行動" or "流動" PLUS something(ex: 電話) would be better, only "行動" or "流動" can not be a complete term in Chinese no matter simplified or traditional Chinese.

I see, now I understand why you don't like generic terms :) .
Mobile has no relevance unless you state what kind off mobility is meant.

So if I want to grab a "mobile" domain related to cell phones, I'll have to
translate "mobile phoning" right ?

Thanks again.

Only "mobile" is enought

[Bramiozo]

行動 = motion
電話 = telephone

行動 + 電話 = mobile (tele)phone
verb + noun = adjectival noun + noun

[哈啦]

Yes, in English, "mobile" is enough, in Chinese, only an adjective without a noun is not good. Because people won't understand what kind of term you refer to. Only a single adjective domain is not a good domain in Chinese, for example, 美麗的.com is not good, 美麗的女孩.com(beautifulgirl.com) or even 美麗.com(beauty.com) are much better than 美麗的.com(beautiful.com)

[Bramiozo]

"mobile" on it's own is translated to the chinese "motion" or "flow",
if "motion" is added to "telephone" it becomes "mobile phone" .

Ok I see, this makes it more interesting from a linguistic perspective but a whole lot less interesting from a commercial viewpoint.
