I've created application shortcut in POL, but POL can't manage it(run configuration, install patches, etc.) if its name contains non-latin(cyrillic in my case) letters.

Here is POL output:

~> playonlinux
PlayOnLinux v3.7.3

That's also problem for any non-standard latin letter (e.g. Polish letters). I think that this is an task for developer of POL.

I had this problem too when trying to install a .pol file.
The message was
"
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/share/playonlinux/python/file.py", line 91, in Next
print(self.champ.GetValue())
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\\xe9' in position 14: ordinal not in range(128)
"

I opened the file, went to line 91, which is
"
print(self.champ.GetValue())
"
, as expected.

I just changed it to
"
print(self.champ.GetValue().encode('utf-8'))
"

And everything ran fine.

Hope this will help.
