The friendly slugs package for Meteor seems like it only supports English characters. (https://atmospherejs.com/todda00/friendly-slugs)
Does anyone know a good approach to creating slugs for foreign (or special) characters in Chinese, Japanese, etc.?
I found a package that answers my issue here: https://atmospherejs.com/ongoworks/transliteration https://www.npmjs.com/package/transliteration
This package(s) - though still early on development - translates foreign characters in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean into their English-letter counterparts or as close to it as possible and also allows the option to slugify them ready for URL purposes.
What a great package!
