Hi,
the same issue is present in WP 3.4.2 when ttrying to change to Finnish (fi). When activating I get the error message: “There is no translation available for Suomi (fi_FI).”

WordPress uses phpass (class-phpass.php) to encrypt the passwords in the DB.

Hi!

I strugle with the same problem as John Stone, the only difference is that I have my users in phpBB3. As phpBB3 also allows (by default) the usernames to contain about anything I currently have over 2000 users that are not WP-compatible. This is quite a big problem for me, since I plan to put up WP in multisite mode to be able to provide my users to start their own blogs.

Any input to this problem is wellcome!

Addition:
As the board in question is located in Finland, the use of scandinavian chars are quite common (?, ?, ?). On top of that we have a lot of users with usernames containing: *, _, -, <, >, ^, +, [, ], #… etc.

For phpBB this is not a problem, as it accepts almost anything in the usernames by default. But WP seems to dislike almost anything except alphanumerical’s and spaces, and the same seems to go for the CommunityAPI SSO -plugin.
