Cyrlitera converts Cyrillic and Georgian URLs and file names to Latin. It works for all post types, pages, and terms. It gives you options to define your own custom characters and enable automatic redirects.
Transliteration is the process of converting characters from one writing system to another, such as converting Cyrillic symbols to Latin. Because most web software and URLs are designed around Latin characters, using Cyrillic or other non-Latin symbols in links or file names can lead to unreadable URLs, accessibility issues, and even broken links. Transliteration ensures your URLs and file names remain clean, readable, and compatible across all platforms.
Cyrlitera automatically replaces Cyrillic and Georgian characters with Latin equivalents to create clean and readable…
