Where can I set up transliteration?

[Yurensiy]

I continue to fill the forum with my sometimes silly questions. And here's the next one: how and where to set up transliteration so that URLs use Latin instead of Cyrillic? This is an article in the blog section.

That is going to require quite a bit of code customization in the functions.php. I will share the code later on with you.

Thank you very much!

The code will look something like this after you have made the edits.

function clean($string) {
    // Transliterate Cyrillic (and other non-Latin) to Latin
    if (function_exists('transliterator_transliterate')) {
        $string = transliterator_transliterate(
            'Any-Latin; Latin-ASCII; Lower()',
            $string
        );
    } else {
        // Fallback if intl extension isn't available
        $string = iconv('UTF-8', 'ASCII//TRANSLIT//IGNORE', $string);
    }

    // --- existing Sngine logic below ---
    $string = preg_replace('/[^\p{L}\p{N}\-]+/u', '-', $string);
    $string = preg_replace('/-+/', '-', $string);
    $string = trim($string, '-');
    return $string;
}

Should it just be inserted? Or should something be replaced?

Don't insert any code yet. I'll give you the full instructions later on tonight.

I have not tested that code yet. I just quickly wrote it, just to give you an example. Let me test it, and then I'll get back to you.

Оk. Sorry

Open the includes/function.php and go to line 8206.

How to apply it​

1. Back up functions.php first — copy it to functions.php.bak on the server.
2. Open includes/functions.php in your editor.
3. Jump to line 8206 (search for function get_url_text).
4. Replace lines 8206–8221 with the block below.
5. Save and upload.
6. Test by creating a new blog post with a Cyrillic title — the URL should now be Latin.

What to change​

Replace the function body with this. Lines 8206–8221 become:

function get_url_text($string, $length = 10)
{
  $string = html_entity_decode($string, ENT_QUOTES);
  $string = htmlspecialchars_decode($string, ENT_QUOTES);

  // Transliterate Cyrillic / non-Latin to Latin ASCII
  if (function_exists('transliterator_transliterate')) {
    $transliterated = transliterator_transliterate('Any-Latin; Latin-ASCII; Lower()', $string);
    if ($transliterated !== false && $transliterated !== null) {
      $string = $transliterated;
    }
  } else {
    $fallback = @iconv('UTF-8', 'ASCII//TRANSLIT//IGNORE', $string);
    if ($fallback !== false) {
      $string = $fallback;
    }
  }

  $string = preg_replace('/[^\\pL\d]+/u', '-', $string);
  $string = trim($string, '-');
  $string = strtolower($string);
  $words = explode("-", $string);
  if (count($words) > $length) {
    $string = "";
    for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) {
      $string .= "-" . $words[$i];
    }
    $string = trim($string, '-');
  }
  return $string;
}

It doesn't work. I'll send you this file. Maybe I'm doing something wrong...

I forgot that the version you are using is a nulled version, so the line number will be different for you than me.
