I wanted to know if there is an option to force lowercase slugs instead of the same capitilization it is written. I prefer lowercase URLs than mixed ones.

c# is a compiled language, it is 10x to 100x faster than Ruby. Please write back when you have tested in Ruby. I strongly recommend switching to another discussion software if this is a hard requirement.

Where is the app.yml located, I need the full path in Ubuntu. I can’t find it under /var/

If you followed the default installation steps, it’s /var/discourse/containers/app.yml.

[image] fefrei: DISCOURSE_DEFAULT_LOCALE That’s what I have there: env: LANG: en_US.UTF-8 DISCOURSE_DEFAULT_LOCALE: en

Anyone can help me with this, can’t continue using the platform without being soves.

I’ve found out that the slug is lowercase in ‘ascii’ mode, but when I change to ‘encoded’ it stays with the same letter case that I’ve written the topic with.

Why do you need it in “encoded”? ASCII is correct for western languages.

Because I want the keywords to be in the URL, even if they are written in Japanes, Chinese or any other non-English keywords. If I use ascii, this topic title: “どういたしましてどういたしまして” becomes /t/topic/17 I used it in all my websites, it’s great for usability and make the URL meaningful in search eng…

You lowercase before encoding, Every platform that I use (and I have 15 years of developing experoence, not in Ruby though), does that. It’s a missed opportunity, I will look into rubi and see what I find. If you aim your platform for multilanguage, you have to do that.

What happens when you lowercase unicode? This is complex and indeterminate. Not sure if Ruby can even do it.
