<div><font color="#000080" face="Calibri">Arabic localizations for Google, Yahoo and
Bing are not working today if I run an IPv6 connection. Google thinks I am in
Holland, Bing thinks I am in Canada and Yahoo doesn't default to the
<a href="http://maktoob.yahoo.com">maktoob.yahoo.com</a> portal used in the Arab world. This could be explained that I
am on a public IPv6 address that uses the Freenet6 IPv6 server in Amsterdam and
a Canadian ISP assigned block of IPv6 addresses. </font></div>
<div><font color="#000080" face="Calibri"></font> </div>
<div><font color="#000080" face="Calibri">This means Middle East ISPs should give
IPv6 access to their subscribers over their own IPv6 assigned address blocks to
get web page localizations to work.</font></div>
<div><font color="#000080" face="Calibri"></font> </div>
<div><font color="#000080" face="Calibri">Otherwise things are running smoothly as
standard pings to the regular web'pages of Facebook, Bing, Yahoo, CNN and Google
are all defaulting to IPv6 addresses and responses without the brute force of
"ping -6". And running in IPv4 only mode has no issues as well.</font></div>
