Hi,

is there any howto available for using german umlaute (äöüÄÖÜß) and mod_rewrite? I want to use this kind of character in some category name.

Example: Schüßler will be rewrite'd to Schusler, which is for searchengines not the same. It is totally another word. A circumvention will be Schuessler.

Is there any help available?

Regards,
Frank

You can choose what to replace accents with using the $accenttweak tweak: http://scripts.webmastersite.net/w...rticles/tweaksphp-359.html

I have read the manual, but I have not understood it.

$accenttweak['from'] = ''; // for url rewriting, accented characters to replace
$accenttweak['to'] = ''; // for url rewriting, replacements for accented characters

and the coding is like this

 if (isset($accenttweak)) $string = str_replace(str_split($accenttweak['from']), str_split($accenttweak['to']), $string);


What I have to do, when I want to translate all together?

ä to ae
ü to ue
ö to oe
ß to ss
Ä to Ae
Ü to Ue
Ö to Oe

It doesn't handle non-1-to-1 correspondence, so it can't do that.

whats about an extension/correction to tweak_vars like this

...
$accenttweak_from=array('Ä','ä','Ö','ö','Ü','ü','ß'); 
$accenttweak_to=array('Ae','ae','Oe','oe','Ue','ue','ss'); 
...
$string = str_replace($accenttweak_from,$accenttweak_to,$string); 
...


If an array is used a non-1-to-1 correspondence is possible. I think for all languages with special characterset it could be very usefull. But I don't know if this works in both direction of mod_rewrite.
