For many Russian composers, artists, musicbrainz displays them as Cyrillic characters. Is there anyway to change these automatically in Yate?

Try Settings-MusicBrainz-General-Latin Artist Names

The MusicBrainz guidelines state that artist sort names should be represented in Latin script. Yate can use this fact to obtain Latin based names when an artist name cannot be represented in Latin script. When Latin artist names is checked, Yate will check if a name can be represented in Latin characters. If it cannot and a Latin based sort name is available, the sort name will be saved to the artist name. Note that an attempt will be made to do some reconstruction on the sort name to get it closer to unsorted form.
