What It Does

This plugin is designed for installations that set the language to de_DE, German. It replaces non-ASCII strings, particularly German umlauts, with alternatives in permalinks and uploaded files. Additionally, it sets the German language key for feeds.

The plugin functions as a drop-in, allowing for seamless integration. It ensures that umlauts and special characters are replaced to create clean permalinks. For example, 'Das häßliche Entlein kostet 1 €' becomes 'das haessliches-entlein-kostet-1-eur' in the permalink.

It also modifies file names by replacing special characters, spaces, and umlauts. For instance, 'Häßliches Entlein.png' is changed to 'haessliches-entlein.png'. Furthermore, it sets the feed language value to 'de', a feature not visibly available in WordPress.
