Hi,
I am creating a site for Russian speakers and managed to load the Russian BuddyPress where it shows almost everything in Russian.
But the field above the profile fields such as username is only accepting latin letters. So my questions are:
1) can I make it accept Cyrillic letters for username?
2) if not, how can I notify users, or how can I change the text in that field, to say it needs to be latin?Thanks

Hi @loveplove,
Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. Unfortunately, Cyrillic characters don’t seem to be allowed in WordPress usernames…
Maybe these topics will help you to solve your issue as they seem to answer the same concern:

Please note that this issue is related with the customization of WordPress and BuddyPress, not with the use of your theme. As theme authors, the installation, setting or debugging of third party plugins isn’t part of the support we will provide.
To go further, we invite you to ask for more help from the plugin authors and post your request on their support forums:
https://buddypress.org/support/We remain available for all support requests related with the use of your theme.
Finally, please also be informed that our support forum will be closed during on December 31st, 2018 and January 1st, 2019.

I found a solution: download WordPress Special Characters in Usernames and all works.
