There's an English link in the top right; English page says:

> The Central Registry Agency services offered as "open" and "unrestricted", which enable everyone around the world to register a name in the top level domains .istanbul and .ist

I see, thank you. The English link didn't work on mobile.

Currently, however, the registration is limited to Turkish individuals for their full name, Companies registered in Turkey, foreigners with a residence in Istanbul until the end of March. After that, all restrictions will be lifted, according to the IHS[1] (a hosting company operating in Turkey)

> According to the Medya A.Ş., .istanbul will improve awareness on İstanbul's historical heritage and help economic growth by allowing unlimited and open registration of the names.
