Hi GreenFlash,

Can You test if it would work for Vietnamese too? I believe Vietnamese char are very simmilar to the French ( ...well after all Vietnamese alphabets were derived by the  French colonials ) Here id the full convertion list  here  ̣̣(just look at the  Unicode Hex and ignore the rest)

basically all I need is tp strip out all the accents and just leave the basic Latin characters

Eg.
ă > a
â > a
ê > e
ô > o

Ó > O

Ò > O

please let me know if it works

Thanks

Guys, why creating special national replacement packs when you can use one universal solution, at least for Latin character stes. Just now I'm wondering, why there is just Turkish replacement in News Articles. I need Czech!!! :-) My customer's solution needs Slovak transcription and I can imagine that our western neighbours (Germans of course :-) need replace ü with u also :-)

I hope that function like following one solve all those needs:

Public Shared Function RemoveDiacritics(ByVal s As String) As String
    s = s.Normalize(System.Text.NormalizationForm.FormD)
    Dim sb As System.Text.StringBuilder = New System.Text.StringBuilder()
    Dim i As Integer
    For i = 0 To s.Length - 1
        If CharUnicodeInfo.GetUnicodeCategory(s(i)) <> UnicodeCategory.NonSpacingMark Then
            sb.Append(s(i))
        End If
    Next
    Return sb.ToString()
End Function

I implemented this function into DNN URL rewirte mechanism and it works like charm for page names with diacritcs in page name :-)

Btw., Scott, News Articles and other your modules are really awesome, worth of Gold membership!

Yes, it does exactly what you wite, "Việtnam" becomes "Vietnam" and "stříbrožluťoučký kůň" becomes "stribrozlutoucky kun"
 :-)

Cool, I also need this feature.

Is it available yet?

Thanks
