If you want to use 1C, go and use 1C. While internationalized names per 
se
are a very opinionated topic, in the case of Ruby they are definitely 
and
explicitly bad because all other parts of ecosystem are already in 
English
and this will not change (not to mention that even if such a patch gets
accepted, and I hope it will not be, keywords still will be in English 
for
foreseeable future.)
