2.9.0 add an option that will allow to add usernames transliterated into WordPress as [b]Latin alphabet[/b] (any language) as default, [b]OR into any other language[/b].
Considered alphabets are as follow (not all will works, but the most important and common yes) and the function can:

detect and return the type of the alphabet in $text
OR
return transliterated $text from an alphabet to any another

I am a little confused on how this thing should be managed.
I see this morning, giving to the code some minutes of tests, that even setting as Russian the language into WP, when i go to register a name in Cyrillic like let say [b]нужно починить[/b], that translated into Latin chars is [b]needs to be fixed[/b] (a strange test username ok, but legit), WordPress answer the follow:
[quote]Ошибка: Это имя пользователя некорректно, поскольку оно содержит недопустимые символы. Пожалуйста, введите корректное имя пользователя.[/quote]
so
[quote]Error: This username is invalid because it contains invalid characters. Please enter a valid username.[/quote]

Why this happen and how so, if a login done by user_login/username will not work (work of course by email instead) and WP do not recognize the username passed as Cyrillic even if the wp is set as Russian, and the email is not updated as observed and described above,
then my question is: the code of the integration plugin, should transliterate all usernames as Latin and store usernames in Latin?

Hello, i am testing all added new features and fixes, any way and i note this into a default WP, about usernames added in native alphabet,
so if the user is transferred and added in Cyrillic alphabet in WP.
When the user go to update the email into his profile, the change email is sent, but the WordPress return error
[quote]Cannot create a user with an empty login name.[/quote]
It seem that the wp_insert_user some way is fired along the user update, and i suspect that it happen because the passed [i]user_login[/i] to the WP update profile function, test for the username if it exists or not, and seem to not recognize that the passed Cyrillic username exist, then try to create the user. Not reversed and i do not exactly know.
Then after that anyway the change email, email, is sent, when i go to click into the link to confirm the email change, the wordpress profile message say that the email successfully changed, but instead it reset to the old one.
And i cannot login into wordpress using the user_login/username, but only using the email.


If i set WordPress in Cyrillic, when i go to change the email, i get the same
[quote]Нельзя создать пользователя с пустым логином.[/quote]
that i assume without translating it that mean
[quote]Cannot create a user with an empty login name.[/quote]
And even if the confirmation email is sent, when i click the confirmation email, the email is not updated at all.

This happen by default in WP, it has been tested that is not due to the integration plugin that it happen.
How do you manage this thing?

Hey,

Thanks a lot! It's working now :)

All my cyrillic usernames are properly transferred now.

No worry, i tested it any way, and it is ready.
You should [b]substitute[/b]
into the plugin [b]/admin/[/b] folder
the file [b][i]wp_w3all_users_to_wp.php[/i][/b]
with this one:
[attachment=0]wp_w3all_users_to_wp.zip[/attachment]

then into the [b]/common/[/b] folder add the follow file:
[attachment=1]helpers.zip[/attachment]

Users are now transferred in cyrillic, if the username into phpBB is in cyrillc.
The plugin code will allow with few easy modifications, to transfer users in any native language (i did it for this, even if actually it is still just for cyrillic).
2.9.0 will add users in cyrillic (or any other language) onlogin and when on verify_credential (logged in user in phpBB added on fly into WP because present a valid phpBB session cookie).

Probably the code will use the included function on the helpers.php file that translate the cyrillic based on the alphabet and that i've found in internet, and not the native Php (depend if it is active or not into your php.ini) [b]transliterator_transliterate()[/b] function. Let know if the alphabet is correct
and all works as expected!
