Description

I sugest we change urlify.js in a way that will not block out non-English chars.
Instead it should translate them into their English feel-a-like, ie for Serbian (Latin): Š->s, Đ->dj, Č->c.

If we do that, we should try to normalize even more letters. Among them ö->oe, ä->ae, ü->ue, é->e, è->e, à->a, ß->ss. Does anyone know a list of all possible accented letters? Or should there be an automatism escaping all characters?

This and #2282 are talking about the same thing. There is a bit more discussion (mostly links to mailing list threads) in the latter, so I'll close this one as a dupe, but add a note about the Serbian transpositions being here.
