title: Bilingual domain wildcard SSL certificate?
body: <p>I work on a web application with a wildcard cert -- multiple environments all as subdomains of the root domain, works pretty well. </p>
  
  <p>The application is bilingual (english/french), and supports switching between the two, but the domain name remains english. Someone asked me about supporting a French domain name recently, and that sent me off into research mode.</p>
  
  <p>There are apparently <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internationalized_domain_name" rel="nofollow">internationalized domain names</a> and although the punycode domain feels pretty weird, the user experience seems ok. And there are multi-domain SSL certificates, which I guess would work if we weren't already using a wildcard certificate. Can you get a multi-domain wildcard cert so that you could accept requests on <code>*.cats.ca</code> and <code>*.chats.ca</code> (generic example of a domain name in french and english) or <code>*.cats.com</code> and <code>*.gatos.com</code> for an english/spanish site in America, where a single website host could respond to requests in SSL for subdomains of both domains?</p>
  
  <p>I tried searching, didn't find much -- and I'm not totally convinced this is the right stack exchange, but most of the SSL cert questions I found were here.</p>
