Language barrier in the digital age

As I got this PDA from HK, so that it lets me read and write in Big-5, I am used to working with English (US) on my home computer. This creates a problem: my home computer can't properly list the folders and files on my PDA that are named in Chinese. And because of that, ActiveSync fails to transmit folders and files with Chinese names in either directions. The current workarounds are 1) to rename a folder/file to English before transferring; and 2) to change the codepage settings of the home computer to properly support Big-5. Either workaround is suboptimal.

How much I'd like ActiveSync to have an additional option to automatically convert folder and file names between Big-5 and Unicode. Who would help me with that?
