I try to make new notebook named in Russian and it get filename like "-------.md". This is very comfortless and I even can't change it. screenshot from 2019-02-14 14-43-02

@dmitryvakulenko obviously you are right Dmitry! I want to make ASCII valid name (lower 128) to avoid any problems w/ unusual characters (I'm Czech and my name is Dvořák BTW). Are you developer? If so, would you have any suggestion for Russian language to Latin translation - even non-technical, what works best?

dmitryvakulenko commented 5 years ago

I see two possible solutions

Made edit file name ability
Yes, made transliteration for non-latin languages. Sorry, I can't suggest specific library, I don't use C++ for a long time.

I am encountering this issue as well. I hope the file name can be specified directly. Maybe this can be an advanced feature in the configuration file. I am using Chinese and even transliteration can cause great ambiguity. Maybe it is better to trust the user's operating system to handle file names of their own languages well.
