Why Use This Plugin?
When sharing links with titles in non-English languages (e.g., Hebrew, Arabic, Hindi, Chinese, or Russian) on platforms like Facebook or WhatsApp, the URLs often turn into a confusing string of codes. This makes your links look unprofessional, reduces click-through rates, and can harm your SEO.
The Automatic Slug Translator fixes this issue by seamlessly translating slugs into concise English. Not only does this make your links visually appealing and user-friendly, but it also enhances your website’s search engine performance with clear, descriptive URLs.
Key Benefits: 
– Improves Sharing: Makes links cleaner and more attractive on social platforms. 
– Boosts SEO: Search engines favor clear, readable URLs. 
– Simplifies Titles: Long, complex titles are automatically shortened into elegant slugs.
Example: 
– Original Title (Hebrew): איך להשתמש בממיר אוטומטי לסלאג באנגלית 
– Default Slug: /איך-להשתמש-בממיר-אוטומטי-לסלאג-באנגלית 
– Broken URL: /%D7%90%D7%99%D7%9A-%D7%9C%D7%94%D7%A9%D7%AA%D7%9E%D7%A9…

This small adjustment can have a big impact on how your content is shared and discovered.

WordPress 7.0+ Connectors Support
On WordPress 7.0 and above, the plugin integrates with the built-in Connectors API – connect any supported AI provider directly from WordPress settings, no API key needed in the plugin.

Unfortunately, it works for me only when I activate classic editor. In gutenberg editor it doesn't work. But the idea of the plugin is really cool!

Cyr to Lat Enhanced automatically converts Cyrillic, European and Georgian characters in post slugs, term slugs and media file names into Latin characters. 
It helps maintain clean, readable and consistent URLs on WordPress sites that use non-Latin scripts.
The plugin integrates directly with WordPress core sanitization (<code>sanitize_title</code> and <code>sanitize_file_name</code>) and performs transliteration at the moment slugs and filenames are generated. 
It does not modify post content, titles or front-end text. Its scope is strictly limited to URLs and file names.
On activation, existing post and term slugs are converted in the background using safe, batch-based processing via WP-Cron. 
WordPress core APIs are used to preserve permalink integrity and existing redirects.
Transliteration is based on an ISO 9-style mapping table with built-in support for: 
– Russian 
– Belarusian 
– Ukrainian 
– Bulgarian 
– Macedonian 
– Georgian
Locale-specific adjustments are applied automatically, and the transliteration table can be customized using a public filter.
Cyr to Lat Enhanced is intentionally lightweight and focused: 
– no admin interface 
– no settings pages 
– no bidirectional conversion 
– no data collection or tracking
The plugin continues the cyr2lat / cyr3lat lineage and remains compatible with the original approach introduced by Sergey Biryukov.
<h3>Advanced Transliteration</h3>
For advanced transliteration needs such as full content conversion, bidirectional processing, extended language rules and fine-grained control, consider the separate plugin: 
https://wordpress.org/plugins/serbian-transliteration/
That plugin is designed for complex multilingual setups and broader language processing beyond slugs and file names.
<h3>Adoption Notice</h3>
This plugin represents the continued maintenance of the original “Cyr to Lat Enhanced” project from the cyr3lat lineage.
The project has been revived to ensure long-term stability, modern WordPress compatibility and responsible maintenance, while preserving the original behavior and purpose.
