About non-latin language article's URL

A Chinese title in a Chinese article is necessary in the page. I don't think it is a best way to create a Chinese article with English name and then re-title the published Chinese article with Chinese title.

The best way should be designed into SPIP CMS, such as import "namespace"( namespaces [DokuWiki] ) in DokuWiki ( http://dokuwiki.org/ ), for example, a URL can be "/zh-CN/What-is-GCompris" in Chinese version while it is "/en/What-is-GCompris" in English version. And, SPIP can also learn from Wordpress. In Wordpress, administrator can customize the URL scheme in administrator management panel and rename the URL name when write an article and has no connention to the title of the article.

I don't know if there is a URL scheme control panel in the SPIP CMS.

So, I think it is a better way to keep the URL scheme created by the SPIP CMS, we should not to change this in a manual way. Just as the other non-Latin language translators do. A URL style isn't too important.

This mail be sent to mail list of SPIP too: http://listes.rezo.net/mailman/listinfo/spip-en

I think that the URL is made the first time you create the article like
you mention. So the best we can do is to let the chinese translators to
create the articles using the english name followed by -cn

Would that work ?
