Hello!
My default language is English, but I have many names in German, Spanish and Russian with different letters and cyrillic. Is there a way to extend the export function as follows:
Export names in default language, but if there is a name in German, Spanish or Russian then German, Spanish or Russian should be exported instead of English. Of course there is always only an entry in default language and max. 1 other language.

I ran into the same problem trying to export GEDCOM for profiles that have names in Russian and/or Hebrew in addition to English. Problem is, standard GEDCOM has no support for multiple languages. Geni might make a non-standard extension to GEDCOM format to indicate multiple languages, but such a proprietary extension is unlikle to be uunderstood by any other system trying to import the GEDCOM.
Hello!
I found following solution for me. I fill in all names only in 1 language register.
For example Spanish names only in Spanish language. If I select German for export and there is no name in German language register then the Spanish language register is taken for export. Same, if name is in Cyrillic in Russian language register and in NO other language register is a name, then in the export file is the Cyrillic Russian name.
Still have to fix my problem that I want the Russian or on your side the Hebrew name also in Latin letters. For that I placed the Latin translation into the field [also known as]. If you inport your GEDCOM export file into another program it looks like following:
[Cyrillic First Name] [Latin First Name Last Name (also knwon as/nick name)] [ Cyrillic Last Name]
For me this workaround is fine. At the moment I don't use Russian Vather's Name.
