Hello Eduardo, Yes, you are right, Wikipedia works fine with accents in the slugs. But it gets a little "dirty" because, for example, in browser address bar, I can read
https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipédia:Página_principal (notice that the "e" on Wikipedia and the first "a" on Pagina have accents) but when copied and pasted here it becames: https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:P%C3%A1gina_principal I think it somehow makes it more difficult to the user, because the uniqueness of the address is gone. There are have two forms of it. Of course, both works, but they are two. So I choose to use the default Django slugify function, following your advice. I believe this should be the *default solution* to be used in Mezzanine, at least for every latin derived language, or every language that uses roman characters. Russian and Chinese use other alphabets, so it makes sense using the original letters on the slug (and slugify_unicode). But on latin derived languages, removing the accents makes thinks simpler (in my opinion). For anyone reading this latter, to use the default Django slugify I have created a *defaults.py *file inside myapp/myapp with this content: from __future__ import unicode_literals from django.conf import settings from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _ from mezzanine.conf import register_setting register_setting( name="SLUGIFY", description=_("Dotted Python path to the callable for converting " "strings into URL slugs. Defaults to " "``mezzanine.utils.urls.slugify_unicode`` which allows for non-ascii " "URLs. Change to ``django.template.defaultfilters.slugify`` to use " "Django's slugify function, or something of your own if required."), editable=False, default="django.template.defaultfilters.slugify", ) Obrigado / Gracias / Thank you Greetings, Márcio Em quarta-feira, 6 de janeiro de 2016 13:52:50 UTC-2, Eduardo Rivas escreveu: > > You can choose your own function for generating slugs by customizing > settings:SLUGIFY.
