The Microsoft FAT file system family can deal with filenames in
native language character sets. These character sets are stored
in so-called DOS codepages. You need to include the appropriate
codepage if you want to be able to read/write these filenames on
DOS/Windows partitions correctly. This does apply to the filenames
only, not to the file contents. You can include several codepages;
say Y here if you want to include the DOS codepage that is used in
the United States and parts of Canada. This is recommended.
