Notes & Limitations
Runs locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded. Transliteration maps scripts to Latin letters; it is not translation. Unsupported characters are removed when punctuation stripping is enabled.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can slugs contain uppercase letters?
SEO best practice is lowercase. Lowercase is enabled by default — turn it off only if your stack requires mixed case (uncommon).
Are underscores better than hyphens?
For URLs and SEO, hyphens are generally preferred. Underscores work for filenames, Python modules, and some APIs — switch separator mode in the workspace.
What happens to emoji?
Emoji and most symbols are removed when Remove punctuation is on. Words around emoji are kept — e.g. 🔥 Black Friday Deals becomes black-friday-deals.
Does the tool upload my text?
No. All slug generation runs locally in your browser — your text never leaves your device.
Can I download the result?
Yes. Use Copy Slug or Download TXT to save the slug or full URL path preview as plain text.
Can Russian text be converted to slugs?
Yes. Enable Transliterate non-Latin text — e.g. Москва becomes moskva. This converts letters to Latin; it does not translate meaning.
Does Ukrainian work?
Yes. Ukrainian Cyrillic transliterates to Latin — e.g. Привіт світ → privit-svit, Україна → ukrayina.
Does Greek work?
Yes. Greek letters map to Latin equivalents — e.g. Ελλάδα → ellada.
Does this translate Chinese?
No. Chinese characters are not transliterated. They are removed when Remove punctuation is on, and counted in Non-Latin found stats.
Does Japanese work?
No. Hiragana, katakana, and kanji are not mapped to Latin. Unsupported characters are stripped from the slug output.
Does Arabic work?
No. Arabic script is not transliterated. Characters are removed during slug cleanup unless you disable punctuation removal.
Does Korean work?
No. Hangul is not transliterated. Korean text is removed from slugs when punctuation stripping is enabled.
What is the difference between transliteration and translation?
Transliteration swaps letters for Latin equivalents while keeping sounds — Москва → moskva. Translation changes meaning — this tool does not translate text.
