## Beschrijving

**Note:** This plugin is no longer being actively developed, and we recommend switching
to [**Cyrlitera**](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cyrlitera/), a more advanced version
with expanded features and customization options.

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.

This plugin automatically replaces Cyrillic, Georgian, Turkish, and other supported
characters with Latin equivalents to create clean and readable URLs for posts, categories,
taxonomies, products, and custom post types. It also fixes incorrect file names 
by removing unsafe characters and transliterating them during upload, helping prevent
404 errors and broken media links.

### Examples

**Cyrillic URL before transliteration:**

    ```
    https://example.com/%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%82-%D0%BC%D0%B8%D1%80
    ```

**Same URL transliterated to Latin:**

    ```
    https://example.com/privet-mir
    ```

**Incorrect file names before transliteration:**

    ```
    %D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B5_image_290.jpg
    A+nice+picture.png
    ```

**Readable transliterated file names:**

    ```
    moe_image_290.jpg
    a-nice-picture.png
    ```

By using Latin-based file names and URLs, you avoid issues with encoding, broken
links, and unreadable paths. This plugin performs the transliteration automatically
each time a file is uploaded, ensuring your media library stays clean and consistent.

### Kenmerken

 * Automatically transliterates URLs for posts, pages, categories, tags, and custom
   post types
 * Preserves existing URL structure while making it readable
 * Transliterates attachment file names
 * Removes unsafe or problematic characters from file names
 * Supports Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Georgian, Greek, Armenian,
   and Serbian character sets
 * Compatible with Advanced Custom Fields, Asgaros Forum, and BuddyPress

### Advanced Transliteration Features

If you need more advanced transliteration features, consider upgrading to [Cyrlitera](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cyrlitera/).

Unlike Cyr to Lat Reloaded, Cyrlitera offers a user-friendly interface that gives
you full control over how links are transliterated. It also allows you to roll back
converted URLs, create automatic redirects from old URLs to new ones, and help eliminate
broken links across your site.

## FAQ

### Can I define my own transliteration rules?

This plugin uses a fixed set of transliteration rules. If you need custom character
mappings or support for additional languages, we recommend using [Cyrlitera](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cyrlitera/),
which allows you to define your own substitutions with full flexibility.

### Does this plugin work on multisite installations?

Not at this time. The plugin works only on single-site installations.

### How do I redirect old URLs to their new transliterated versions?

This plugin does not create redirects. If you need automatic redirects for transliterated
URLs, we recommend switching to [Cyrlitera](https://wordpress.org/plugins/cyrlitera/),
which includes built-in redirect handling for all updated slugs.

### Does this plugin modify links in comments, menus, or theme files?

No. Only WordPress-generated slugs (URLs) and attachment file names are affected.
Other hard-coded links remain as they are.

### Will this plugin change the text inside my posts?

No. Only URLs (slugs) and file names are transliterated. The content inside your
posts or pages remains unchanged.

### How to report a security issue?

Plugin security is a core priority for us. If you identify a potential vulnerability,
we ask that you disclose it responsibly.

Please follow the reporting protocols outlined on our [Security Page](https://themeisle.com/security/).

Плагин не имеет интерфейса для настройки, но с другой стороны мне и не нужны они,
ничего лишнего. Все работает отлично!
