Further, the Respondent&rsquo;s website, while it was active, was in the English language. The Complainant would also incur substantial additional expense and delay if the Complaint has to be submitted in English.<\/p>\n<p>The Respondent did not make any submissions with respect to the language of the proceeding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In exercising its discretion to use a language other than that of the registration agreement, the Panel has to exercise such discretion judicially in the spirit of fairness and justice to both parties, taking into account all relevant circumstances of the case, including matters such as the parties&rsquo; ability to understand and use the proposed language, time and costs (see WIPO Overview of WIPO Panel Views on Selected UDRP Questions, Third Edition (&ldquo;WIPO Overview 3.0&rdquo;), section 4.5.1).<\/p>\n<p>Having considered the circumstances of this case including the neutrality of English as a common language between parties, the fact that the disputed domain name consists of Latin characters and fully incorporates the Complainant&rsquo;s English trademark and the English word &ldquo;bite&rdquo; and letter &ldquo;a&rdquo;, and the fact that the Complainant would incur significant additional expense and delay if the Complaint was to be translated and submitted in English, the Panel determines under paragraph 11(a) of the Rules that the language of the proceeding shall be English.&nbsp; There does not appear to be any reasons which warrant a delay and additional expense in ordering the Complainant to translate the Complaint.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Procedural Matters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Panel is satisfied that all procedural requirements under UDRP were met and there is no other reason why it would be inappropriate to provide a decision.<\/p>",
