apostrophes & accents

Hello, thanks a lot for this package.

I see you keep apostrophes & accents. If I use Slugify for making URLs, is this nowadays ok in terms of SEO and browser compatibility?

Thanks,
Manuel

Hello,

I really appreciate that and i hope i can do more.
Yes it's compatible with SEO and browsers.

The new browsers and most of Search Engines nowadays can handling the apostrophes & accents because they are encoding it automatically.

But if you want to encode it so you can use urlencode function.

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply.

Using urlencode makes URLs unreadable (for the user), unspellable.

And also I noticed this : after copying an URL (with accents) from the address bar of the browser, when you paste it somewhere in plain text it keeps the encoded version. Example:

Frédéric Chopin's Wiki page is located at:
fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frédéric_Chop ...

But when you copy/paste it from the address bar (to your prefered social media), the result is:
fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%A9d%C3% ...

I know this is not related to your package. It probably is a browser output. But it's annoying, because keeping accents in the URL is therefore only for the eyes.

Then I still wonder if I have to keep or not the accents & apostrophes on my website (which is in french btw).

Anyway, thanks again for your package, I really appreciate it.
