This cannot be merged as it stands. The letters ä/ö/ü are present in languages other than German. And those other languages don’t use (or even forbid) ae/oe/ue as the replacements. They might be fine with a/o/u, or have their own replacements.

The next idea would be “check the current language and act accordingly”. And this is complicated, because we use slugify a lot, and we might depend on its value not changing between runs (for example if we need to slugify a file name, and don’t have a list of slugifications made, which we don’t, especially over multiple runs of Nikola). Which would make things even worse.

I’m afraid I have to reject this.

(PS. ß is already slugified as ss.)

There is already a setting for using Unicode in slugs. Use that instead.

How about modifying Nikola that lang is passed to all calls of slugify (with by default getting it from LocaleBorg)? It might be harder to implement this, but I think it's worth trying.

How about no? It’s a really minor thing most people don’t care about, and we could still fuck up if we did not notice something using locale-dependent slugify where it’s inappropriate.
