Wordpress Plugin: Chinese PinYin Slug

Filed Under development |   

The Chinese PinYin Slug Wordpress plugin convert Chinese UTF-8 character into English PinYin character from a post slugs to improve  search engine optimization.
For example, when you publish a post with a title like this:
“中文拼音”
Wordpress automatically assigns a long filename to your post, called a post slug:
/%e4%b8%ad%e6%96%87%e6%8b%bc%e9%9f%b3
PinYin Slug plugin convert Chinese character into PinYin character. With Chinese PinYin plugin activated, the slug for our example blog post would look like this:
/zhongwenpinyin
The slug is generated on saving a post (so you get a chance to look at it before publishing, and change it), or on publish. It won’t overwrite an existing slug. You can force a new slug generation by deleting the existing one.

Installation

Download the PinYin Plugin and unzip to the ‘/wp-content/plugins/’ directory.  Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress. Now, when editing a post, give it a title and press Save and Continue Editing. The PinYin Slug plugin will generate a slug. If you edit it, the plugin will honor your slug and won’t change it.

    great plugin! It is very useful in my chinese blog. I need not write the post slug in english every time I post an article. Thanks for your awesome work!

    You did a good job!

    what I am thinking is that maybe someone like to remain the Chinese slug & pinyin & english in the url maybe.

    also we may need the post content to be translate to have both Chinese & Pinyin altogether.

    anyway, this is a v~ery good start!

    A good start is half success.
