Is it possible to add? When I create category with russian name, links to it converts to SEO-friendly latin letters. And that’s awesome! I bet it’s possible to do same with nicknames. If name on russan / japanese / hindi, it can be converted to latin version and you can use it for links to user profiles, but show localized UTF-8 one on pages.
