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