    Then make your custom ValidateUsername() function.
    Put in conf/bootstrap.before.php

    This will definitely helps.

    You can download or create locales to support a different language in your forum. You add locales to your forum's /locales directory and enable them in your dashboard under locales just like plugins.

    I know but not support search,login

    So your locale misses the translations for search and login? Maybe you should edit those files then and add the translations for those items.
    Look in the documentation how to do that.

    Please explain more what you mean. Try to use complete sentences. If you want to explain it in your own language, that is ok too. Just explain it and let google translate translate it for you. We will understand, no problem.
    If you need to translate things, use thelocales.

    If you want to login, you cannot use chinese and cyrillic letters (I don't know if there are any other types).
    If you want to search in all the discussions, you cannot use chinese and cyrillic letters.
    I don't know how to resolve that problem.

    Maybe you can try things out, but you will have to ask chinese and russian developers. It might be done with setting the character set of the database fields.

    He means that he cannot change name of user to name with national chars, but only English. 
    $Configuration['Garden']['User']['ValidationRegex'] = '.+';
    This solve his problem.

    This should really be supported by default.

    Even better: each localization gets to specify the range of characters that are vaild for usernames.
