Ascii foreign chars can set from options

[afbora]

In our language as turkish, some chars broken on url address. I just implement that ascii chars can set from options.

Wrong convert: Üsküdar > ueskuedar Right convert: Üsküdar > uskudar

Wrong convert: Öğrenci > oegrenci Right convert: Öğrenci > ogrenci

Sample Usage

c::set('ascii', array(
                    '/Ä/' => 'Ae',
                    '/æ|ǽ|ä/' => 'ae',

I won't fix this for now. I need to find a better solution here in general. In German the matching fits so I think we need language based translations somehow, but this needs more work and thinking.

[afbora]

I want to give an example from CodeIgniter framework. https://github.com/bcit-ci/CodeIgniter/blob/develop/application/config/foreign_chars.php

So for example on Kirby:

if /site/config/foreign_chars.php file exists, override foreign characters otherwise set defaults.

This feature is optional not required so will only use users who have needs.

I agree with Bastian that finding a different approach to this (probably based on translations) might be the better way to go.

Until then, you can easily use something like this in your config.php:

str::$ascii = a::merge(str::$ascii, array(
  '/Ä/' => 'A',
  '/æ|ǽ|ä/' => 'a',
  '/œ|ö/' => 'o',
  '/Ö/' => 'O',
  '/ö/' => 'o',
  '/Ü/' => 'U',
  '/ü/' => 'u',
));

@distantnative great solution :+1: Tested and works perfect!
