This is conflating an issue that affects the release name and issues
related to it to internationalisation in general. I see that fixes are
being worked on for this issue, but it also seems it can't be
guaranteed that there are no further problems it will cause right now
and holding up the release for what is basically a triviality seems a
bit silly.
