#040: Transliteration

Module Link: http://drupal.org/project/transliteration

The Transliteration module takes UTF-8 characters and converts them down to ASCII so you don't get mangled file names or URLs.

  • Who: Technical and non-technical
  • When: I use this module on all of my sites to prevent oddly named files from being uploaded.
  • Where: This module mainly works with the CCK file field and Path Auto but it can be used by other modules.
  • Why: Some browsers/operating systems have issues dealing with files that have non ASCII characters in the file name.

You are missing some Flash content that should appear here! Perhaps your browser cannot display it, or maybe it did not initialize correctly.
