At present gallery URL contain gallery name as a part of URI. When I make a new gallery with Russian name, the URL for this gallery looks long and ugly because of percent-encoded russian letters in URI. Is it possible to add a separate field for gallery title (which will be used in views) besides of gallery name (which will be used for URI)?

Couldn't you use the transliteration module to make the urls nicer?

Transliteration module can solve problem of percent-encoded URLs, but transliterated russian words looks ugly both for russian and english speaking people. And it will be ever uglier in case of eastern laguages. Optional field for gallery URL or gallery name can completely solve this problem.

I propose a very simple solution: add to gallery settings one more textfield for gallery URL, which by default will be the same as a gallery name. So for any latin-based languages there is no difference at all, but anybody who wants to use non-latin alphabet to describe his gallery can just use this additional textfield to give a gallery a clean and useful URI in English while has gallery description on his native language.

What do you think about it?

This is a sound idea but it is not my place to decide on this. justintime is still refilling his batteries but I am pretty sure he might consider any patches on this issue. when he comes back to NG.

So your best bet to see this happening is to provide a decent patch. ;)
