Question: do you have enabled the "Allow special characters in room names" option in admin settings?

Cheers
Thomas

[ispryt]

Yes. "Allow special characters in room names" - enabled.

[iMaciaveller]

im add parameters UTF-8_Names_Validation: [0-9а-яА-Яa-zA-Z-_.]+
channel name is support сyrillic.
you must enable character ranges.

[TwizzyDizzy]

I don't get your problem. Using cyrillic characters is possible (though not always correctly displayed, as mentioned in #10669).

Please add an actual channel name with which it is not possible to create a room.

Cheers
Thomas

Also has this issue.
"Allow special characters in room names" - enabled.
UTF8 Names Validation - [0-9а-яА-Яa-zA-Z-_.]+

I can typo Cyrillic names when changing existing room's name, but have "__room_name__ is not a valid room name" error. Although the room name is not "room_name", it's something in Cyrillic, like "тест".

@ggazzo I've tried to create channel with name in russian here: https://rocket-chat-pr-10862.herokuapp.com/
Doesn't work.
In English - it's ok.

[ggazzo]

@ilyaikik please try disable "Allow special characters in room names"

[ggazzo]

its very confuse ... but just let me know, I will try improve that (:

[ilyaikik]

@ggazzo I would be happy to try that, but I'm not admin here

[ilyaikik]

Wow!
I've tried on my rocket.chat.
It works! Amazing! =)

This config works:
"Allow special characters in room names" - disabled.
UTF8 Names Validation - [0-9а-яА-Яa-zA-Z-_.]+

[ilyaikik]

But now, for Cyrillic names I don't see channel's Avatars made of name's first symbol.
Also user names with Cyrillic symbols behave similar.

[ggazzo]

could you send a print ? btw I will talk with guys, we have to change some things to allow another languages properly

[ilyaikik]

Yes.

You see channel names and user's names beginning with Cyrillic have empty avatar.

[ggazzo]

its hard deal with all languages :P I think your problem is here, I have to test how change to allow different languages.

initials = username.replace(/[^A-Za-z0-9]/g, '').substr(0, 1).toUpperCase();

I think that this issue has been somehow fixed over the time course. I have been able to create rooms with Cyrillic symbols on my instance when I used the same settings as this thread describes.
