Search Engine Frienldy URLs has weird characters because of Turkish characters on product names

Submitted by kempo on Mon, 2008-11-03 10:33 in

Hi,
I enabled URL rewrite feature of PT and now everything is working properly except one thing.
The URL's have lots of weird characters because of the product names with Turkish characters like Ç,Ş,Ü,Ğ etc.
As an example I am having my URLs like as the following:
http://www.fiyatbul.net/product/FAKIR-EMOTION-2200-ELEKTR%C4%B0KL%C4%B0-S%C3%9CP%C3%9CRGE.html
for the product name as: "FAKIR EMOTION 2200 ELEKTRİKLİ SÜPÜRGE"
Is there any way to get replace this caharacters with their english equivalents on the URL like as the following:
http://www.fiyatbul.net/product/FAKIR-EMOTION-2200-ELEKTRIKLI-SUPURGE.html
I also want to have my urls with small letters as the following:
http://www.fiyatbul.net/product/fakir-emotion-2200-elektrikli-supurge.html
Cheers,
Kempo.

Hello Kempo,

Whilst it does not look very pretty when the characters are encoded in the URL like that, it will be much better for search engines because they understand what the encoding means, so the pages are more likely to show up when someone searches using those characters...

Cheers,
David.
