Re: non-western character sets and object ids

Hi,

I guess, you could experiment with this:

http://plone.293351.n2.nabble.com/UTF-8-object-ids-in-Zope-experimental-utf8id-tt7563352.html

And overriding the base id normalizer (or a language specific one):

https://github.com/plone/plone.i18n/tree/master/plone/i18n/normalizer

Of course, there may still be Plone core code, or at least add-ons,
which expect ids to be ascii only (resulting UnicodeDecodeErrors).
