Wrong transliteration of Cyrilic text in slugs #52

Open DeeKey opened 11 years ago

DeeKey commented 11 years ago

Slugs are incorrectly transliterated on page http://ru.mikroact.org/act/add/

Transliteration means that when you type text in Russian "Привет" it should be transliterated to "Privet" and not to "npnbet" as currently is!

Is it possible to use another transliteration module or solve this problem?

Previous email:

I haven't checked, but if Cyrillic characters are valid in the "slug" field then I think we can / should keep them.

If not, I'll look for a transliteration-aware slugify module.

I have now checked and only ASCII is supported in slugs.

There is a StackOverflow question with several suggestions, including:

transliteration using unidecode module
"just use django-uuslug"
use actual Cyrillic characters using URL-encoding (& allow "%" in slug field)

OK, let's use this one. There's also specific plugin: http://www.ohloh.net/p/django-ruslug
