I'm guessing that this will only be a partial solution, as you'll want to use the "real" field name for filtering, and the encoding problems will still have to be solved (since there will be a need to support the national characters in the field values as well as the field names...)
Personally, I would handle the "display names" on the front-end side... I would also make sure that the front-end uses UTF-8 - there is simply no excuse to use iso-8859-1 (or other restricted 8-bit encodings) anymore.
