I tried encoded but actually the URL can be seen good on address of internet browser. However, when copy or send it, the real URL is a escape string and not friendly anymore. I check the lib/slug.rb and suggest to change encoded_generator function likes this: def self.encoded_generator(string, downcase: true) # This generator will sanitize almost all special characters, # including reserved characters from RFC3986. # See also URI::REGEXP::PATTERN. string = I18n.transliterate(string, :locale => SiteSetting.default_locale) string = string.strip.gsub(/\s+/, "-").gsub(CHAR_FILTER_REGEXP, "") string = string.downcase if downcase string #CGI.escape(string) end I tried with Viet Nam locale and got the desired results. Hope it works with another language.

I’m not a ruby code writer, but I read the document and find this: [image] RubyDoc.info: Method: I18n.transliterate – Documentation for... Documenting RubyGems, Stdlib, and GitHub Projects Setting a Hash in .yml: i18n: transliterate: rule: ü: "ue" ö: "oe" So this is the way for customize transliterate in setting, at the end of function, we got Latin text (friendly url) only. I tried with my native language, and no need to define custom hash setting.

Is there any way to keep the code change? Because if I did: ./launcher destroy app && ./launcher start app The file ./lib/slug.rb turns back to original code. I’m sorry because I’m new in ruby on rails environment.

I’m so sorry because my annoycing! I decide to change the ascii instead the encoded function. I don’t know why, but I got the different results when use encoded. What is my wrong here? Thank you very much! def self.ascii_generator(string) #I18n.with_locale(SiteSetting.default_locale) { string.tr("'", "").parameterize } string = I18n.transliterate(string, :locale => SiteSetting.default_locale) string = string.strip.gsub(/\s+/, "-").gsub(CHAR_FILTER_REGEXP, "") string end

After play around. I found that: Never change ascii_generator. It make discourse compile template/theme/css wrong. Only use encoded_generator and maybe hard-code to your locale, keep the system default locale setting (English). Add changed code of slug.rb in .yml to keep customize slug.rb for every time rebuild app. Nice day!

I guess this is a compatibility consideration. Some APPs only support Latin text links and will directly cut off links in non-Latin text.
