When you edit a format file the name of the file (in some cases the full path name) is displayed by the editor you use, usually in the window title - including the calibre book editor, sigil, word processors, text editors etc.

If nothing else it can be disconcerting to find one is editing a file whose name is absolute gobbledegook - as happens with books whose titles and authors are written in Arabic, Farsi, Korean etc. Such as the EPUB for الأسود يليق بك by أحلام مستغانمي appearing in the calibre book editor title as al'swd ylyq bk - 'Hlam mstGanmy.epub

Imagine you had the Swedish book 'Snabb brun räv' in your library, and when you opened the PDF in Acrobat reader you saw الثعلب البنى السريع, rather than 'Snabb brun rav'

I am not suggesting anything should be done about it, but I am suggesting that one should try to appreciate the perspective of people whose language doesn't use the Latin alphabet.
