Comment:

 I think this is really a must-have feature for WordPress, from my
 experience, trying to create Arabic website with WordPress, it made a lot
 of confusion to users cause they simply tried to make Arabic names and
 every time it tell them the name is wrong and never mentioned anything
 about language, not even a warning or a comment to say the name should be
 in English, so it took me a while and losing a lot of users too before I
 figured out that WordPress doesn't support Arabic names at all.

 It's really needed fix for WordPress localization, there is no point of
 creating Arabic website if your users can't choose their name in Arabic :)
 I hope this is being considered for 3.3
