It's always possible to pay somebody for
translation/transcription. Recently, software such as Google
translate may work extremely well in most cases. It certainly
did very recently when I tried for my own Japanese address.
Also, if courts or lawyers need to contact somebody by EAI
email address, they may set up EAI-capable software or ask
somebody to do that for them or send the necessary messages
for them. But most probably, they will chose to use snail
mail, because that's a mode of communication that's more
established in legal circles.
Martin,
(1) For free text, Yes.
For free text and addresses, that is.
(2) However, remember that the issue here is email addresses and
that neither the labels of the domain part nor the local part
are required to be "words" or well-known personal name in some
language. Registries and email providers may make some
restrictions in those areas, but are not required to do so.
Made-up strings or phrases are unlike to translate accurately
whether by people are automated means. They may transliterate
but, as you certainly know, there are many languages for which
there are multiple transliteration systems. Even for those for
which there are ISO-standard transliteration systems, other
systems may also be in use.
Agreed. That's why I mentioned EAI email addresses separately above.
Even if somebody translates an EAI address somehow, that doesn't mean
the intended recipient is reachable at the translated address. But what
you can do is to set up an EAI-capable email system, or to ask somebody
with such a system to forward your communications.
Regards, Martin.
