Hi,

I'm using the permalink_fu plugin to create permalinks from titles. My problem is: If the title contains german characters, they are just replaced with '_'.

What I need is something that replaces ä with ae ü with ue ö with oe

I fount String.tr but the problem here is that it replaces 1 character with 1 replacement, so it would work for replacing

é with e ø with o

etc.

Does anyone have a nice and clean solution for that?

Thanks
