Description
Please change this to varchar(200), like wp_categories.category_nicename. I need more than 50 chars for my category name, cause i use the polyglot plugin and categories are used like this:
[lang_de]Neue Kategorie[ /lang_de][lang_en]New Category [ /lang_en]
That is the name of my category and because of this, why not change to varchar(200), like category_nicename? I changed it manually, but mb some other users dont know how to do this...

- Summary MySQL Structur: varchar(50) for cat_name in table wp_categories is too short → Table Structure: varchar(50) for category/term name is too short
I have been hoping for a while that this would get patched... I know we who use multilingual blogs are in the minority, but it would sure be handy.
In any case, I have created a new patch for scheme.php, which makes the term name have field length 200, which is compatible with trunk [5744] (i.e. 2.3 bleeding). I didn't bump the DB version in the patch.
If you are not planning to ever patch this, maybe you could just close the bug as "won't fix", so I could give up hope. Thanks!

I'd also like to see it changed.
What is the reason for the restriction to 50 chars anyway?
Sets wp_categories.cat_name to varchar(200) and bumps db version
