<p>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.</p>
<p>Developed by the team behind <a href="https://mobidevices.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">MobiDevices.com</a>.</p>
<p>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 <strong>Settings => MobiDevices Slug Translate</strong>. If no key is saved or the translation service is unavailable, the plugin falls back to local transliteration.</p>
<p>Key features:</p>
<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>
<p>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.</p>
<p>This service is used only when:</p>
<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>
<p>The plugin sends:</p>
<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>

<p>Cyrlitera converts Cyrillic and Georgian URLs and file names to Latin. It works for all post types, pages, and terms. It gives you options to define your own custom characters and enable automatic redirects.</p>
<h3>How It Works</h3>
<p>Transliteration is the process of converting characters from one writing system to another, such as converting Cyrillic symbols to Latin. Because most web software and URLs are designed around Latin characters, using Cyrillic or other non-Latin symbols in links or file names can lead to unreadable URLs, accessibility issues, and even broken links. Transliteration ensures your URLs and file names remain clean, readable, and compatible across all platforms.</p>
<p>Cyrlitera automatically replaces Cyrillic and Georgian characters with Latin equivalents to create clean and readable URLs for posts, categories, taxonomies, products, and custom post types. It also fixes incorrect file names by removing unsafe characters and transliterating them during upload, helping prevent 404 errors and broken media links.</p>
<h3>Examples</h3>
<p><strong>Cyrillic URL before transliteration:</strong></p>
<pre><code>https://example.com/%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%82-%D0%BC%D0%B8%D1%80
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Same URL transliterated to Latin:</strong></p>
<pre><code>https://example.com/privet-mir
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Incorrect file names before transliteration:</strong></p>
<pre><code>%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B5_image_290.jpg
A+nice+picture.png
</code></pre>
<p><strong>Readable transliterated file names:</strong></p>
<pre><code>moe_image_290.jpg
a-nice-picture.png
</code></pre>
<p>By using Latin-based file names and URLs, you avoid issues with encoding, broken links, and unreadable paths. This plugin performs the transliteration automatically each time a file is uploaded, ensuring your media library stays clean and consistent.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Automatically transliterates all new permalinks</strong> for posts, pages, categories, tags, and custom post types.</li>
<li><strong>Automatically transliterates all new attachment file names</strong> on upload, with an option to convert them to lowercase.</li>
<li><strong>Creates automatic redirects</strong> from old URLs to new transliterated ones to prevent broken links.</li>
<li><strong>Supports multiple alphabets</strong>, including Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, and Georgian.</li>
<li><strong>Fully customizable character mapping</strong> – define your own characters and their Latin substitutions to support any language.</li>
<li><strong>Preserves original permalinks</strong>, keeping old URLs intact so nothing is lost during conversion.</li>
<li><strong>Optional conversion of existing slugs</strong>, allowing you to transliterate existing URLs.</li>
<li><strong>Rollback tool</strong> that lets you restore original URLs if needed.</li>
