Yes, so if we use Thai encoding then Latin-1 names appear in the right 
characters, and Thai names appear in the right characters.

The problem is they don't seem to realize that one might want the 
ability to have Thai names for files, yet one is not in Thailand (or 
substitute any other language/country here).

We set the language to Thai, and that makes everything Thai.  We don't 
want that.  We want KDE in English, but the ability to type names for 
files in Thai or English.

It seems to me that they broke the ability to do this.

Very unfortunate.
