Maybe it is hard to understand for you, so I'll try to explain again:
Yes, I use Polish names in Poland. However my name is Radosław - note
the Ł character. But my signature is "Radoslaw". Why? For you.
And thanks for that! I still remember maybe 35 years ago I was
walking out of work late in the day, and two co-workers were outside
speaking Mandarin. When they saw me they immediately switched to
English, which surprised me. All I can guess is they were being
considerate in case I wanted to join the conversation. Pretty nice of
them.
As for file/dir names on Windows/Linux, I try to stick to these rules:
#1 No spaces, which drives my co-workers crazy with the underscores.
#2 Lower case. And of course I only use characters available on my
USA keyboard.
Fun story: I used to work for German employer. They sent me my passwords
(a lot of them) using some safe method. Some of the passwords are not
expired and in fact hard to change for new person on the board. One
password contain paragraph sign §.
The problem is the character is unavailable from English/US or Polish
keyboard! It is accessible as Shift+3 on German keyboard. The other
gotcha was Z letter. Why? Because German keyboard is QWERTZ, not QWERTY,
and you don't see password characters - so you don't know whether it is
Z or Y. Fortunately I've got "German" laptop with German settings and
paragraph was over "3" and Z was next to T.
It was fine until I started working and had to to type some "special"
characters like +-=./() - German keyboard is completely different!
I customized system to have Polish keyb, but the keyboard remained
German. Of course I could attach my own keyboard.
