MobiDevices

MobiDevices Slug Translate creates clean English slugs for post, page, and media URLs in multilingual WordPress sites. It can translate non-ASCII text, including Cyrillic, and supported Latin-language content into English before WordPress saves the slug.
Developed by the team behind <a href="https://mobidevices.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">MobiDevices.com</a>.
To use automatic translation, install and activate the plugin, sign up for <a href="https://langbly.com/signup" rel="nofollow ugc">Langbly</a>, create or copy an API key in your Langbly account, and save the key in Settings => MobiDevices Slug Translate. If no key is saved or the translation service is unavailable, the plugin falls back to local transliteration.
Key features:
<ul>
<li>Translates post and page slugs when WordPress saves them.</li>
<li>Translates media file names on upload when translation is needed.</li>
<li>Keeps clean ASCII slugs and file names unchanged.</li>
<li>The admin interface is localized for English, Russian, Ukrainian, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Polish.</li>
</ul>
<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin connects to the Langbly translation service to translate post slugs and media file names. An account and API key are required for automatic translation.
This service is used only when:
<ul>
<li>WordPress saves a post or page slug that needs translation;</li>
<li>WordPress requests a Classic Editor sample permalink for a slug that needs translation;</li>
<li>a media file name needs translation during upload;</li>
<li>you use the key test button in the plugin settings.</li>
</ul>
The plugin sends:
<ul>
<li>the text to translate, such as a post title, slug text, or media file name;</li>
<li>the target language code, and the source language when the site locale is used for supported plain-Latin text;</li>
<li>the saved API key in the request headers.</li>
</ul>

MobiDevices Slug Translate


Great plugin for automatically translating slugs in WordPress. We use it on MobiDevices.com, and it helps keep URLs clean and readable for posts, pages, and media files. Simple, useful, and works well for websites with Cyrillic content.


It works!

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.
