 When the machine system's locale is EN, the SHP Provider can't create a
 new SHP file with attribute name contains multi-bytes characters like
 Chinese or Asian characters.
 It seems that provider just do 'Ansi2Wide' with codepage in system's
 locale which is not always correct. Sometimes we have to use UTF-8 to make
 the conversion correct.
 I think it  is a defect of Globalization.
