Just reading this
http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/decisions/html/2009/d2009-0079.html

hänchen.com "be transferred to the Complainant."

I can't believe my eyes. Seems the panelist had no idea it has meaning in german language ? It means CHICKEN (and I do not see this fact mentioned anywhere although the proceedings were in english).

Their "bad faith" reasoning now makes me convinced there is going on huge bribery amongst panelists (who are getting some small money only). Bad times for small domainers, larger guys can always afford good lawyer, small guys will be stripped of domains from corrupted panelist like this fcuker "Wolter Wefers Bettink"

"Hähnchen" means chicken, not Hänchen. ;)

Even that google link gave proper spelling:

1. Hosenscheißer
2. Kneifer
3. Hähnchen
4. Huhn
5. Hühnchen
6. Küken
7. Kleine
8. Mieze

Looks to me like he was taking advantage of one way they spell their name (Hänchen) within certain areas of their website, with same accent as respondants IDN. I doubt this guy was thinking 'chickens' when her reg'd this one.

I'm sorry, but if you rely on the Google Translator for accuracy/domaining, then you will no doubt loss ALOT in translation/profit.

IMO: Worse Translator Ever!

Word Reference has proven much more reliable in my years of use:

if germans are telling you, then you should believe it

they always spell it "hänchen"
only if "ä" is not available (non-IDN domain names or very very old typewriters), then they spell it "haenchen" (as it is standard in german)

WTF ?
Do I say somewhere I do NOT believe them ? I am just saying it is interesting that GOOGLE's dictionary can not be trusted as I did not know that before...
FFS !
