German Umlauts in URL-Keys

[workID]

Hello everybody,

i have a problem with URL keys related to german umlauts that are automatically generated by Magento2.

We have a lot of products / categories with umlauts (äüö ..), their URL-Keys were generated automatically by magento2. An "ä" for example is replaced by an "a", an "ü" is replaced by an "u" etc.

Example:
Category name: "Küchenmaschine" -> https://shop.de/kuchenmaschine

but the correct url-key would be https://shop.de/kuechenmaschine.

Somebody have an idea, how i can change the mapping of the umlauts?

I am grateful for your help.

Hello @workID,

Change URL key for products, I suggested to you that export all product with sku, name and url key and after correct all umlauts key as per reference of name then import it

Here A GUIDE ON HOW TO IMPORT AND EXPORT PRODUCTS IN MAGENTO 2

Change URL key for category, I think you have to change it by manually.

Is this really the only solution in 2019 in Magento 2???

Update 2020-05-15: There is now an open source module for that. See https://github.com/integer-net/magento2-german-umlaut-urls.

This is my solution. You need two files and an existing module.

1. etc/di.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
	<preference for="Magento\Framework\Filter\TranslitUrl" type="Namespace\Module\Filter\TranslitUrl"/>
</config>

2. Filter/TranslitUrl:

<?php

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace Namespace\Module\Filter;

class TranslitUrl extends \Magento\Framework\Filter\TranslitUrl
{
    /**
     * Add correct German Umlauts transliteration
     *
     * @return array
     */
    protected function getConvertTable()
    {
        $convertTable = $this->convertTable;

        $convertTable['ä'] = 'ae';
        $convertTable['ö'] = 'oe';
        $convertTable['ü'] = 'ue';
        $convertTable['Ä'] = 'Ae';
        $convertTable['Ö'] = 'Oe';
        $convertTable['Ü'] = 'Ue';
        $convertTable['ß'] = 'ss';
        $convertTable['ẞ'] = 'Ss';

        return $convertTable;
    }
}

Please replace "Namespace\Module" with your modules' namespace.

After clearing the cache, newly generated URL keys will have correctly transformed Umlauts.
