c. Language-Specific Base URLs: Host all relevant content under the
appropriate URL for the corresponding language. This ensures
consistency and enhances user trust.

Example (English) : https://meity.gov.in/open-data

Hindi - https://एमईआईटीवाई.सरकार.भारत/ओपन-डेटा

d. Using ISO 639 Codes: In case the domain name uses the same
script, the ISO 639 language code provides a clear and standardized
way to identify the language of the website including those using
IDNs.

Example*(both Hindi and Marathi use the Devanagari Script)

एमईआईटीवाई.सरकार.भारत/hi/ : This URL indicates that the content is in
Hindi (using the ISO 639-1 code "hi").

एमईआईटीवाई.सरकार.भारत/mr/ : This URL similarly indicates that the
content is in Marathi (using the ISO 639-1 code "mr")

e. Expanding Internet Accessibility: IDNs play a critical role in
promoting digital inclusivity by enabling internet users to access
URLs & content in their preferred language and fostering broader
engagement with local and regional communities.

f. Dynamic Language Switching: Enable users to switch languages
dynamically without losing their position on the page or navigating
to a different URL.
