Transliterate Russian titles for URL keyword assessment #1488

Open CarolineGeven opened 6 years ago

When using a Russian focus keyword in the slug of a post in WordPress, the assessment shows correctly the keyword is present. However, in the Russian URLs it's common to transliterate to the latin alphabet.

For example, greek language is in Russian Греческий язык, and transliterated it would be for examplegrecheskij-yazyk. There are more ways to transliterate.

We need to answer the following questions:

Another suggestion could be that we give our Russian (or non Latin users) suggestions on how to transliterate within the insights box.

(discussed this with @nataliashitova )

There is already some transliteration in place: https://github.com/Yoast/YoastSEO.js/blob/develop/src/config/transliterations.js#L241-L304. This is already used for URLs.
