## Description

NOTE: recent WordPress versions already properly transliterate umlauts if the
 site
language is German. In that case, German Slugs is no longer needed.

While creating a post or page, WordPress automatically suggests a permalink. If

your permalink structure contains the %postname% tag, then the title of your post
or page will be used, simplified by conversion to lowercase, replacing spaces with
hyphens, removing certain punctuation characters and removing diacritics from latin
letters.

Thus, by default, ä is replaced with a, ö with o, ü with u and ß with s (similar

for capital letters). For German, the conventional transliteration is ä to ae, ö
to oe, ü to ue and ß to ss (sometimes sz in Austria, this is not yet supported).
This plugin makes your WordPress apply the conventional transliteration.

I wrote this plugin because manually correcting WordPress’s suggestions is a
 considerable
hassle, especially if you decide to change the title afterwards.
