URL Friendly for Unicode languages

AndyNguyen

Hi all,
I've been using Flarum 3 days already. Firstly I wanna say thank you to Flarum team has been working hard.

Unfortunately for my site because of my country is using the Unicode language (Vietnam) so I had issue with the url. For ex:

My topic is "Xin chào" the url will be "xin-ch-o" but my expection is "xin-chao"

With the problem above I've changed a bit code for routing then I got results:

First option:
Topic title "Tâm sự nghề IT" -> /d/2-tam-su-nghe-it
(You can check here: https://vnaforums.com/d/2-tam-su-nghe-it)

Second option:
Topic title "Tâm sư nghề IT" -> /d/2-tâm-sự-nghề-it

I recommend to use the first option if you're using Vietnamese language and the second option for other unicode languages.

Reference to first option you can check here:
https://github.com/flarum/core/pull/1150/commits/c69c4ff9a43be68ebc00a7ea5e57300aa64f01a6

Reference to second option you can check here:
https://github.com/flarum/core/pull/1150/commits/9ce1ea2cc31d4d8ac4e39d145e57f8d015700be5

Any feedback?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe something like this extension?

0E800 Hmmm. I can agree it's kind of same ?. But with me it's supporting for more languages.

There is actually a composer php class that I use that is really good for Unicode slugging. Because I have actors from different countries I found this, and it works for everything I have thrown at it so far.

If I have some time to read the docs for creating an extension I'll have a go at it.
