A 94 out of 100 from 98 ratings is a strong endorsement from real users, reflecting reliable slug conversion and few reported regressions.

Support Health

8/15

Support health scores only 50/15, which is the weakest area: there are just 9 support threads total, so while 88.9 percent are resolved, the low volume limits confidence in troubleshooting depth for edge cases.

What It Does

Cyr-To-Lat automatically converts Cyrillic (and other non-Latin) characters in your post, page, and taxonomy slugs into Latin equivalents, producing readable, SEO-friendly URLs for sites using scripts such as Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, Bulgarian, or Georgian. It runs at save time, so existing content can also be back-filled through a built-in conversion tool. The result is URL slugs that look like 'privet-mir' instead of raw Unicode escapes.

Who It's For

This plugin is a strong fit for bloggers, news outlets, and e-commerce stores publishing content in Cyrillic languages who want clean, shareable, Latin-character URLs without manually transliterating each slug. It also helps site owners targeting international SEO, where Latin URLs tend to perform better in global search results and social shares. Multilingual catalogues with Slavic vendors or documentation teams will benefit most.

Who Should Skip It

If your site is published entirely in Latin-script languages such as English, Spanish, German, or French, this plugin does nothing useful for you and adds unnecessary processing. Sites that need full content translation, not just slug transliteration, should look at a real multilingual plugin like TranslatePress or GTranslate instead.

The Bottom Line

Cyr-To-Lat is a focused, well-maintained utility that does one job very well: turning ugly Cyrillic permalinks into clean Latin URLs, with an overall quality score of 86.13 out of 100. Its narrow scope and excellent maintenance make it a low-risk add-on for any Cyrillic-publishing site. The only real caveat is thin support volume, so complex custom taxonomy scenarios may need some DIY testing.

Pick GTranslate if you need full automated translation of page content into dozens of languages rather than just slug transliteration.

TranslatePress 93/100

Choose TranslatePress when you want a visual, front-end translation workflow with manual or AI-assisted multilingual content, not just URL cleanup.

Loco Translate 89/100

Loco Translate is the right tool when your need is translating theme and plugin strings inside WordPress, not converting permalinks.

Translate WordPress - Google Language Translator 84/100

Go with Google Language Translator if you want a lightweight front-end language switcher for visitors rather than backend slug conversion.

LocoAI - Auto Translate for Loco Translate 84/100

LocoAI is a better fit for sites that already use Loco Translate and want AI-powered string translation rather than URL transliteration.
