I guess it is so, yet I did not try it out.

I would solve umlauts and slavic characters
easily, I do not have many in the database.

I am expanding something like:

Suppliers of belts :: 1234
Suppliers of gold :: 1235

And then I am parsing the last number to get the
proper choice, as some company names can be same,
so I need to choose the proper ID of the choice.

In that sense I can change umlatus to ae, oe, ue,
ss before the completion.
