Slug field does not work for Bengali language in django. How to work with slug in bengali

Question

Django slug field does not work for any other language except English. I want to work with Bengali language here is the code

class Post(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=140)
    category = models.ForeignKey(Category, on_delete=models.DO_NOTHING)
    content = RichTextField(default="")
    image = models.ImageField(upload_to="media/post")
    url = models.SlugField(unique=True, max_length=250, null=True, blank=True)
    likes = models.IntegerField(default=0)
    created_date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
    update_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return f"{self.title}"

    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):  # new
        if not self.url:
            slug_str = f"{self.title}-{datetime.datetime.now()}"
            self.url = slugify(slug_str)
        return super().save(*args, **kwargs)

Answer 1

Pass allow_unicode=True to your SlugField to accept unicode chars

class Post(models.Model):
    ...
    url = models.SlugField(allow_unicode=True, unique=True, max_length=250, null=True, blank=True)

Then when you generate the slug you need to pass the same parameter to django.utils.text.slugify

def save(self, *args, **kwargs):  # new
    if not self.url:
        slug_str = f"{self.title}-{datetime.datetime.now()}"
        self.url = slugify(slug_str, allow_unicode=True)
    return super().save(*args, **kwargs)
