XWiki supports lots of languages out of the box (you just need to configure the encoding properly). Actually we’ve gone to great length to ensure that any character is valid in page and space names! :) May I ask why you would want to strip some characters? Now you shouldn’t act at the level of the URLs since the URLs are just used to find the corresponding document in XWiki. If you strip some char from the URL then you won’t be able to point a URL to an existing document anymore ;) So what you really want is instead to act at the level of document creation (the Add Page dialog box) and do the stripping there IMO. However ATM we don’t provide any extension point for doing this so you’d need to modify the corresponding vm file (create.vm I think, which calls other vms) and do future merges of that file by hand whenever you upgrade your XWiki instance in the future. I recommend to reconsider going in that direction and instead letting XWiki handle all chars.
