Frequently asked questions

Should visible text lose accents?

Usually no. Keep accents in user-facing language and normalize only technical fields when needed.

Is this the same as slug generation?

No. Accent removal is one step. Slug generation also handles spaces, separators and casing.

Can this help search?

Yes, accent-normalized copies can support accent-insensitive matching in search workflows.

Limitations / when not to use

Removing accents can change the natural spelling of words. Do it for technical normalization, not for visible copy that should remain correct for readers.
