 * When I sort a-z I really sort a-ö since Swedish (and other countries) have more
   letters than the English language. For Sweden they are “å Å ä Ä ö Ö.
    Since the
   Ö is sorted like an “O” and both Å and Ä ar sorted like “A” it really isnt possible
   to use this excellent plugin in the Nordics and I expect the same is true for
   large parts of the world.
 * Most humbly,

 * Yes, multilanguage support for building an a-z index is needed!

 * The alphabet range is passed through a filter, like so:
 * `$range = apply_filters( 'tcb_wpg_atoz_range', range('a','z') );`
 * You can try building your own array:
 *     ```
       add_filter( 'tcb_wpg_atoz_range', 'tcb_wpg_atoz_range' );
       function tcb_wpg_atoz_range( $range ){
         ...
         return my_list_of_characters();
       }
       ```
   
 * Let me know how you get on.

 * i got a similar problem.
 * i got a glossary which shall work with WPML. the glossary contains terms in english
   with translations to swedish and german (via WPML). but when i use [glossary_atoz]
   it lists the terms of all 3 languages even though the slug got translated.
 * any idea to solve this? would grouping help there?

 * Thanks for the answer. I am afraid it is a bit past my capacity…
 * Anywhere I can read up on it?
