Description
WordPress does not have the ability to enable transliteration (of links, file names) to Latin. Because of this, sites that use Cyrillic or other non-Latin languages face a problem when the link contains non-Latin characters, which is bad practice for a website (for example, Cyrillic).
Because of this, sites are forced to use plugins (for example, Cyr-To-Lat) or other solutions.
Proposal:
Add to the general WordPress settings the option to enable transliteration if the site has non-Latin languages (for example, Cyrillic - Ukrainian, Bulgarian, etc.)
There should be an easy to choose the ISO9 transliteration option, or set your own option for matching Latin letters (similar to what is done in plugins).
