Transliteration Support

Issue Summary

Some of my files are not shown properly, because they contain non-ascii letters like ä ö ü ß.
There is a module that solves that problem, http://drupal.org/project/transliteration.
Unfortunately, it only works with upload module, but the readme says there is a way to integrate it into other modules:

-----------------

Module developers who want to make use of transliteration to clean input
strings may use code similar to this:

if (module_exists('transliteration')) {
$transliterated = transliteration_get($string);
}

Take a look at transliteration.module for an explanation of additional function
parameters.

----------------

It don't seems to be much work, please integrate that module. Thanks a lot :)

Yes, I think i will integrate this feature the next weeks.

Yes, please, please, please. The transliteration feature is an absolute MUST. I'm admin of a German community page and am getting lots of complaints from my users on non-functioning image uploads. On the other hand they were extremely happy about the image_fupload feature to create galleries quickly.

I've informed them to only use an English character set for their file names, but it seems to be inconvenient for some peoples large collections.

#3

I'm a german developer but hadn't had any problems yet because a digicam produces only English file names.
But I will surely integrate this if I have the time to do it.

Fixed in new version of Image FUpload.
CCK Integration also done in new version 3.0 (alpha). Have fun, but don't forget to run update.php if you update from a previous version.
