<p>Converts Cyrillic, Georgian, Arabic and Chinese characters in post, term slugs and media file names to Latin characters.</p>
<p>This plugins uses parts from following plugins:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/arabic-to-lat/" rel="ugc">Arabic-to-latino</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/cyr3lat/" rel="ugc">Cyr to Lat enhanced</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/so-pinyin-slugs/" rel="ugc">Pinyin Slugs</a></li>
</ul>
<h4>The problem</h4>
<p>WordPress cannot sanitize all languages correctly which leaves pretty permalink with bare post ID. There are a few separate plugins to handle sanitazing but they won’t generally play along nicley and end up often removing parts from other languages.</p>
<h4>The solution</h4>
<p>This plugins combines the few working slug sanitazing plugins so that they will work together.</p>
<p>If you need only one of above plugins, you can (and probably should) use them instead of this. If you are in need of multiple of these plugins, this is the conflict-free combination for you.</p>
<h4>What this plugin sanitizes?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Post slug</li>
<li>Term slug</li>
<li>Filename</li>
</ul>
<p>These are sanitized with WordPress’s filter and done in post save etc.</p>
<p><strong>Notice:</strong> There is no bulk sanitizing option right now. If you are in need of it, some of the plugins above have their own solutions so adding the feature here wouldn’t be such a big hassle. Send a PR!</p>
<h4>What about language X?</h4>
<p>Send PR to add other languages to the mix.</p>

Converts Cyrillic, Georgian, Arabic and Chinese characters in post, term slugs and media file names to Latin characters.

<h4>Features</h4>
<h4>It takes the following steps for getting cleaner and safe to use filenames</h4>
<ul>
<li>Removes or replace special/international characters that can make your filenames not compliant with servers that don’t have support for international locales and filenames, or third-party services. (e.g. ‘España.png’ will become ‘Espana.png’, ‘prüfen’ will become ‘prufen’).</li>
<li>Replaces any ‘+’ in the filename with ‘-‘ (e.g. ‘A+nice+picture.png’ will become ‘A-nice-picture.png’).</li>
<li>Replaces any ‘.’ character before the one used for file extension with ‘-‘(e.g. ‘A.nice.picture.png’ will become ‘A-nice-picture.png’).</li>
<li>After running all character replacement filters, a filter is applied to ensure that the filename only contains letters, numbers, underscores, dashes, and dots. Any other character will be removed from the filename.</li>
<li>And finally all letters in the filename are set to lowercase to prevent issues with case insensitive systems. </li>
</ul>
<p>This reduces problems with some servers, services, plugins… That may have problems handling filenames with special or international characters.</p>
<p>The plugin does its job during file upload process, so it’ll change only filenames for files being <em>uploaded after plugin activation</em>.</p>
<p>It supports a large number of international characters, including but not only, characters from belarusian, cyrillic alphabet, czech, german, hebrew, hungarian, russian, polish, spanish, ukrainian, and some other special characters (e.g. №, @, $, etc.).</p>
<p>If you have any questions or need support, please check FAQ for additional information before asking.</p>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 3.0 or higher</li>
</ul>
