The Internet Was Built for English. And That’s Becoming a Problem

The internet was built to connect people across borders, but connection is incomplete when language becomes a barrier. As digital life expands across commerce, public services, education and AI, multilingual access is becoming part of the infrastructure of participation. Universal Acceptance sits at the centre of that shift, ensuring people can use domain names and email addresses in their own languages and scripts. A truly global internet must do more than reach everyone. It must recognise how people write, speak and identify online.
