Apologies in advance if this is a stupid observation. The name for this author now appears in Cyrillic ("Ха Цзинь") when favorited. It used to appear as "Ha Jin." Needs to return to Roman in the first/preferred usage on the author's page. Is there a preferred language one can select in a default setting on the member profile page that enforces all author's names in Roman, if selected?
Sorry, I don't know how to edit author's page to make it so. If it's something general members can do, I'd like to learn.
Thanks.

It's in the "Common Knowledge" section down on every author page.
(The behavior was probably caused by a known bug that causes the last "Canonical Author" name set, in any language version of LT, to take over for LT as a whole. So, somebody probably set it in Cyrillic for the Russian site (or the Bulgarian, etc.) and in itself they were quite right to do so. The problem is that it spills over to the rest of the site).
P.s.: And as long as that bug doesn't get fixed this will happen from time to time. Nothing we users can do to prevent it.
