Whois lookup @ nic.dz says:
>> Le nom de domaine google.dz n'est pas encore attribué (Google translate: "The domain name google.dz is not yet allocated")

Google.com must be sure that google.dz is runing before sending users to it, this is not professional!

It's released... officially!

The official blog post mentions "some alert bloggers [who] spotted [the new] DNS"... Are they talking about Blogoscoped, here?

<<Today we are very pleased to release a localized google.dz for Algeria, making Google the first international search engine with a .dz domain. (And google.com.dz also functions, redirecting to google.dz.)

Some alert bloggers spotted our DNS changes earlier in the month, but a couple of weeks ago we completed the launch with a localized homepage with French as the default language and Arabic as the linked alternative. People who prefer google.com in English, of course, can still find that linked from the new homepage.

In launching google.dz, we had to comply with local rules governing top level domains in Algeria. Working with our friends at the registrar, and coordinating between Algiers, Dublin and Zürich, we were able to come up with a solution that worked for everyone. We were really pleased about this, as Algeria has one of the fastest-growing internet populations in the world, and this launch will really enable us to offer the best Google service to this group. A distributed team in Zürich, London and Mountain View are working to support the growth in Algeria and the rest of North Africa and the Middle East; watch out for more launches to come!
