Not very often. Normally, one chooses their preferred transliteration and
puts that in their From: header, then replies go with that form in To:, and
that form is also saved in peoples’ address books so new messages also get
the preferred form. The only time I expect issues is when person A knows
the native form of person B’s name and attempts to transliterate it, and
guesses wrong.
