Comment:
We've debated this seemingly endlessly on django-dev. Realistically,
continuing to tweak urlify.js is not an option, it will become
ridiculously large and unmanageable.
This is a ''helper'' function for doing simple transliteration where
simple cases are possible. It is not a solution to all the world's
localisation problems and is not intended to be. If a particular locale
cannot be handled via simple character mapping (and East Asian languages
are an obvious example of those that can't be), then using automatic slug
generation via this filter is simply not an option for those locales.
Fortunately, even if automatic generation is turned on, it can be manually
overridden by somebody using the admin, so it isn't a show-stopper.
Let's leave urlify.js doing it's current job and people who want extra
features can write them as separate javascript files and include them
directly into admin and on the field. Trying to achieve or expect too much
with a simple helper is unrealistic.
