--- Comment #6 from Mike Kaganski <mikekagan...@hotmail.com> ---
The different limitations (of table names, field names, etc.) in firebird are
expressed in number of octets used to encode the names in the encoding used for
the database. In LibreOffice, the encoding is UTF-8; which means that any
non-ASCII character is encoded using more than one octet.

We using Cyrillic alphabet are lucky to only need two octets per character, so
we enjoy a luxury of 15 characters. Many Asian languages require up to four
octets; do for them, the limitation would be around 7 characters.

The inability to convert is indeed an issue.
