Hi,
we defined a custom entity type which has no language property. It is the entity "Politician" where the single politician has a first name and a last name. These values are always the same in each language. For these entities we have a canonical url and we want to create aliase with pathauto for these entities.
No it comes that politicians with German umlauts are not transliterated correctly: "Florian Köhler" becomes "florian-kohler" bit it should become "florian-koehler". This issue only appears with these entities not with nodes for example where the node title is part of the alias.
I found that in PathautoGenerator->createEntityAlias() there is this code
$langcode = $entity->language()->getId();
In the case of our entities it returns "und" and this leads to a non-German transliteration logic during the further process. Is there any way to say "This is a German page and always turn ü to ue even if the entity itself does not have set German as a language"?
Best,
Tobias

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
Thanks for sharing, I also had a challenge with transliterating in English nodes, and ended up using the hook_transliteration_overrides_alter function in
🐛
Danish characters ø and å are not transliterated correctly

@stefan.korn The method using hook_pathauto_pattern_alter() sounds interesting, and a simple example on how to do this would be amazing. Thanks!
