Aliases on Russian

Hi
Sorry but I don’t speak Russian, but I thought it will be the best forum to post my question...
I’m developing a Site in French and Russian, I’m also using the multilingual extension to changes languages and therefore friendly urls but now I’m facing a problem with the Aliases on the Russian pages.
Whenever I add a Russian String in the "Alias" field it gets striped out. Modx is simply removing it.
Is there a way to use Aliases on Russian?

Hello Vladimir,
yes i know about this problem, but i think that it will not have simple solution. Most part of Russian developers set aliases on eng lang or use translite.

p.s. sorry for my bad eng.

Could you tell me about the "multilanguage extention" more?

Hi Vladimir,

You can just simply replace the file manager/processors/save_content.processor.php with the attached file (remove the .txt extension in the file name).
I have modified the array of the accepted characters in the stripAlias function to use the Russian symbols, too.
Now they are also accepted and converted on the fly to theirs English analogues.

P.S.: Unfortunately I couldn’t find the possibility to attach the file on this forum >:(
So I have uploaded it on my server http://suhinin.com/files/save_content.processor.php.txt (but I can’t guarantee that it will stay long time there).

P.S2: Кстати, все русскоязычные пользователи также могут легко использовать это решение. Быстро и просто

Fuzzy, thank you for this hack.

Serenity, you are always welcome

извиняюсь, что по русски
захотел тоже сделать русский алиас, например как у википедии
http://ru.wikibooks.org/wiki/MODx:Что_такое_MODx?

Делаю документ с таким же алиасом: MODx:%D0%A7%D1%82%D0%BE_%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B5_MODx%3F , и получаю вместо документа 404 ошибку. Почему?

Hi!
Thank you very much to all of you for the answers! Specially to Fuzzy for the modified processor!

I will try to answer all of you:

@bfocus: have a look on the link below, that’s what I mean by multilanguage extension, perhaps it’s not really an "extension"

@Fuzzy: Thanks for your proccesor file, it’s working really fine.
But just like Elastic I’m wondering why it’s not possible to have cyrillic characters in the url on MODx...

Best Regards to all of you

I have modified Revolution to allow UTF-8 aliases, and it worked fine. I expect that it could work on Evolution also. Almost anything is ok in a url, except for a handful of reserved characters and a few that might cause a problem. These are:
& = + % # < > ~ ` " ’ @ ? [ ] { } | ^ (See http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1738.html)

Of course, having the actual Russian title in the alias helps with SEO...so it is worth doing.

I forgot soemthing:

How can you use translite and MODx?
