 * I was happy to find out that when you activate permalinks in recent versions 
   of WordPress it will automatically generate the post slugs to make the URL’s 
   look nice.
 * I have one problem though. In Denmark we use this special character ‘å’ which
   should be converted to ‘aa’ not just a single ‘a’.
 * The thing is that it converts it to both ‘aa’ and ‘a’, the algorithm is inconsistent
   so to speak.
 * [Example 1](http://www.kreativpotens.dk/vindmoellemisforstaaelsen/) (å is translated
   to two aa like it should be)
    [Example 2](http://www.kreativpotens.dk/en-drabe-til-forskel/)(
   å is translated to just one a, should not be like that)
 * Can I somehow change how the automatic slugs are generated?

 * I have the exact same problem. The danish characters ø, å and æ should be converted
   to respectively oe, aa and ae in the slugs.
 * Any solutions out there? 🙂

 * Well first this is not a WP-Advanced issue. If an automated component of WordPress
   does something inconsistently or wrong, then it’s a bug and needs to be reported.
 * Reports on the issue already seem to exist:
