<p>This plugin allows you to sanitize files on upload, which is pretty handy. It means all punctuation and accents from the filename of uploaded files will be removed.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>All accented letters will be converted to same letters without accent</li>
<li>Special characters will be deleted</li>
<li>Underscores will be replaced by hyphens</li>
</ul>
<h3>Warning For Mac Owners</h3>
<p>On MAC, you can also create an accented character with the combination of ` and the wanted letter. This has the effect to create a character with a special filename system encoding format which is not sanitized. An <a href="https://github.com/BeAPI/bea-sanitize-filename/issues/1" rel="nofollow ugc">issue</a> is already open about this.</p>

<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>
