XF 2.2 Pub Controller actionXXX / url with non English characters

[Scandal]

Hello all!
Let's say that I want to build a page / url with non English characters.
How could I achieve it? Is that possible?

For example if I want to use Greeklish (= Greek with English characters), for: /ypologistis/,
I have to add this on my Pub Controller: public function actionYpologistis()

What if I want my url to be 100% with Greek characters like /υπολογιστής/?

I have romanize url disabled, so for at least my thread urls, I can see Greek characters. But I don't know how to make Greek urls for my own, custom addons.

While I believe that using non-ASCII characters may be supported in PHP, it's not something we attempt to match in our router. So unfortunately just naming your function actionυπολογιστής won't work.

The only workaround is to use ASCII characters to define the function names, e.g. actionYpologistis but then use route filters to translate them programmatically.

e.g. if the english was actionBanner in the Account controller I could create a route filter like this:



And at that point the account/υπολογιστής URL will work.

What a great tool the Route Filters, I hadn't detected it!
Thanks!!
