Configure replacement of non-english characters in slug generation

[g-gullstrand]

When using a language other than english, special charachters in titles etc are replaced when the slug is generated.
In swedish for example, the title of "Säkerhet" would generate a slug of "saekerhet". This is ok, byt I would rather want it replace the "ä" with just "a".

Is it possible to configure what non-english characters should be replaced by?

Hej @g-gullstrand,

There is no built-in solution to this. Have a look at this PR #5494 for more in-depth details.

The easiest solution would be to listen for the EntrySaving event and manipulate the slug on-the-fly (like replacing ä with a). Should only be a few lines of code 👍

You can use a regex if you want to replace more than that one type of character. Not familiar with Swedish apart from Ikeå product names 😅

Hope that helps :)
