1. A method for using a non-Latin universal resource locator (URL) in place of a conventional resource identifier in accessing resources on the Internet, comprising the following steps:

  • furnishing the alternative resource identifier to an apparatus that can access the Internet;

    transforming the non-Latin URL to a conventional resource identifier;

    accessing a resource on the Internet using the conventional resource identifier; and

    displaying the resource to the user;

    wherein said a non-Latin URL consists of words, letters, or characters, or a combination thereof, in a first language, and said conventional resource identifier consists of words, letters, or characters, or a combination thereof, in a second language;

    wherein said first language is different than said second language; and

    wherein said transforming step transforms the non-Latin URL to the conventional resource identifier in a manner such that words in the first language are related semantically to words in the second language, with the words in the fist language and the words in the second language having the same meaning.
