As a Company or Representative of a Company
I want the ability to list an Indigenous, French or English Name for a Significant Individual
So the Business Transparency Register reflects the information in my internal transparency register

As the public or a competent authority
I want the ability to search an Indigenous, French or English Name for a Significant Individual
So I can locate a Significant Individual

-Note: Consideration of translation / updated titles on the page etc would need to be considered at a later time.

W3C definition:
Internationalization is the design and development of a product, application, or document content that enables easy localization for target audiences that vary in culture, region, or language.

**Work**
- currently character set allows some indigenous names
- need analysis on how search is functioning in these cases (we use an english stemmer and synonyms)
- have not had anyone who knows the language in the system to test and provide feedback
- could look into translation of complete site. Is this valuable for BTR only if we don't have the same done at the account / corporations level?
