Replacing german chars in page-name (url)

[Philipp]

A suggestion regarding the german "umlauts" ä ö ü .
 
When I create a page and the page name contains a Umlaut like ä, it becomes an "a" in the URL (example: "Jährlich werden" -> "jahrlich-werden"). I know a URL can't contain a ä but normally you just write them as ae instead of ä. The german Wikipedia explains this a little bit, the english not. But maybe some of my fellow german developers here can confirm this.

Example:

 
https://github.com/ryancramerdesign/ProcessWire/blob/master/wire/modules/Inputfield/InputfieldPageName/InputfieldPageName.module#L18
 

	public static $defaultReplacements = array(
		'ä' => 'ae',  
		'ö' => 'oe',  
		'ü' => 'ue',  

 
 
And maybe we can add the "ß" to convert to "s" or "ss". It's used for example in "Straße" ( = Street).

Hi Philipp,

You can do this

Check out the  module config options of "InputfieldPageName" - you can actually edit the replacments there.

Ok, that's better than editing the original module file. Thanks.

Hello,

I'm from germany and I want to confirm this. We don't use just the normal character instead of ö,ä,ü,ß and so on.

ä = ae

ö = oe

ü = ue

ß = ss (not only one s)

Kind regards

The problem is, that we germany aren't the only ones with umlauts.
