## What it is
A Calibre plugin that prevents Calibre from Latinizing (transliterating to ASCII/pinyin) library paths and files sent to devices, allowing Unicode (e.g., Chinese) naming. It also provides a toolbar action to refresh existing library paths after changing translation settings.

## Use cases
- keep my calibre library folders in Chinese instead of pinyin
- stop calibre from converting book filenames to ascii
- switch an existing calibre library from pinyin paths to unicode paths
- send books to my e-reader with original unicode filenames
- rename calibre library directories to non-english names

## When to choose
- you use Calibre with a non-Latin language and want native-language library paths and device filenames
- you already have a pinyin/ascii library and want to migrate it to unicode paths

## When to avoid
- you prefer ascii-only paths for maximum cross-device or tooling compatibility
- you don't use Calibre
