I saw Changeset #2905 ( http://code.djangoproject.com/changeset/2905 ) today and I think that there would still be room for improvement here regarding of slugifying at least some non-ascii letters (like ä and ö, which are widely used in Europe and Scandinavia).
Django strips these characters completely from slugs instead of stripping just the accents. (Ie. 'ä' to 'a' and 'ö' to 'o'.) At least for most Finnish URLs, it makes a huge difference in readability if you remove the whole character or convert it to a "safe" one. At the moment I can circumvent this problem by modifying the JS-autogenerated slug by hand. But I think this would be fairly easy modification to do, both JS and backend. From what I know, at least WordPress does this "right". (See http://trac.wordpress.org/file/trunk/wp-includes/functions-formatting.php and ) Hope this is the right forum for a suggestion like this.
