Why Use This Plugin?
When sharing links with titles in non-English languages (e.g., Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese, or Russian) on platforms like Facebook or WhatsApp, the URLs often turn into a confusing string of codes. This makes your links look unprofessional, reduces click-through rates, and can harm your SEO.
The Automatic Slug Translator fixes this issue by seamlessly translating slugs into concise English. Not only does this make your links visually appealing and user-friendly, but it also enhances your website's search engine performance with clear, descriptive URLs.
Key Benefits:
- Improves Sharing: Makes links cleaner and more attractive on social platforms.
- Boosts SEO: Search engines favor clear, readable URLs.
-
Simplifies Titles: Long, complex titles are automatically shortened into elegant slugs.
Example:
-
Original Title (Hebrew): איך להשתמש בממיר אוטומטי לסלאג באנגלית
- Default Slug: /איך-להשתמש-בממיר-אוטומטי-לסלאג-באנגלית
- Broken URL: /%D7%90%D7%99%D7%9A-%D7%9C%D7%94%D7%A9%D7%AA%D7%9E%D7%A9...
