+nls: Native language codepages and Unicode support
+CONFIG_NLS
+  This is required by the FAT based filesystems and by the ISO9660
+  filesystem with Joliet support.  Joliet is a Microsoft extension
+  for CDROMs that supports Unicode.
+  This allows translation between different character sets.  When
+  dealing with the FAT based filesystems, there are two character
+  sets that are important. The first is the codepage.  Codepages are
+  character sets that are used by DOS to allow filenames to have
+  native language characters when character sets were limited to
+  256 characters. The codepage is the character set that is used to
+  store native language characters on disk.
+  The two most common codepages are 437 in the United States and 850
+  in much of Europe. The second important character set is the
+  input/output character set. This is the character set that is
+  displayed on the screen. In the United States, this will almost
+  always be the ISO 8859-1 character set. This is the default. Linux
+  will only do a translation of the FAT filenames, not the contents
+  of the files.
+
+nls iso8859-1
+CONFIG_NLS_ISO8859_1
+  ISO8859-1 is the Latin 1 character set, and it covers most West

+
+nls iso8859-5
+CONFIG_NLS_ISO8859_5
+  ISO8859-5 is a Cyrillic character set, and you can type Bulgarian,
