except that I would suggest to do it the other way round, having
the proper full name as original, and individual languages
will transform the name according to their established charset.
(So that all latin 1 and latin 2 languages does not need to translate

ASCIIfy Javier Fernandez-Sanguino Peña into Pena, and koi8-r
languages (russian) will use ASCII only form of both)
