a way (plugin?) to convert non latin characters in latin, in url of wiki page?
I have discussed it in another topic (title of pages cut after a certain number... etc), but I think my question merits an own post.
My wiki pages have always titles in Greek (say αεροδρόμιο = airport) and the url automatically take the same name. For example mydomain/αεροδρόμιο.
This is the same way the Greek Wikipedia works (for example the greek entry for Aristarchus of Samos will be found in el.wikipedia.org/wiki/Αρίσταρχος_ο_Σάμιος).
Now, this method has a disadvantage.
When the user tries to reach by typing the url (as opposed by clicking on a link) they have to change keyboard language at a point. And not every user will have installed a Greek or other non latin keyboard.
Clearly, it is best for the url to automatically convert to latin, whch all major CMS do with the help of some plugin/module. For example, the user will create the page with title Αεροδρόμιο but automatically the url will be mydomain/aerodromio. There is of course a letter to letter conversion, for example δ -> d etc. It is quite simple, although I don't expect to be as simple as that with -say- chinese or japanese to latin.
Now, I have not found a way that tiki will do it automatically for me in my wiki, perhaps with a plugin. Is there a way I am not aware of?
PS. Apart from the reason I describe above (I prefer url with latin letters only) there is a technical reason I have to switch to latin only, as I discuss in the topic mentioned above. In short, tiki/database is confused by urls in Greek, that are cut prematurely, after about 30 Greek characters.
