Hey!

It would be really nice if we could configure "Punctuation Settings" to replace words with accents with the same word but without an accent.

In spanish its very common for words to have accents. For example:

"árbol" replace with "arbol"
"éstas" replace with "estas"
"ojalá" replace with "ojala"

And so on. Anybody know how to do this? Thanks in advance! :)

Federico.

In the module folder, rename "i18n-ascii.example.txt" to "i18n-ascii.txt" , and then in /admin/build/path/pathauto -> General settings , check "Transliterate prior to creating alias" that is now available.

And it works !

Hi, I have a bunch of pre-automated paths that use symbols like ´or ¨. This is causing problems with my backlinks view. Any aliased nodes with these symbols will not show up properly.

I have changed the i18n file appropriately. I have told Pathauto to "Transliterate prior to creating alias".

New nodes are working fine.

But I cannot seem to change the path manually on the old nodes. Do I have to create these all over again? There are tons!

For those who stumble upon this old thread, If you're using a current version of PathAuto, you can do this by going to .../admin/config/search/path/settings and checking the box for "Reduce strings to letters and numbers".
