I’m using Discourse in French. Trial Business. Accented characters are common in French, surprised to see that the category name is not “prettified” (ie, strip the accents) for the slug and generates an error? Assuming this is a bug and not a feature…

Hey there 
You should be able to set your category name with accented characters.
The category slug is something specific to the URL, so for example http://meta.discourse.org/c/bac-a-sable. I would recommend to just leave out the slug as it’s optional and will be generated based on the name. 
That was my assumption and exactly what I did — and got the error :-/

Your screenshot shows that you entered non-ASCII characters as a slug.
If you leave that empty, everything should work as expected.
Is “Identifiant de la catégorie” a confusing translation for “slug”? If so, we should change that.
