• My product title is very long and so is its URL; how do I shorten the slug without cutting a word in half?Set a maximum length and the slug is cut at the last hyphen before it, never mid-word. Watch the encoded length too: each Arabic letter costs six characters.
• How do I drop words like in, for and the from my article URL to make it shorter?The stop-word option removes a fixed list of English and Arabic words and tells you how many went. What it drops, what it leaves, and when you will regret it.
• Should I separate the words in my URL with hyphens or underscores?Hyphens are the common convention for page URLs; underscores suit systems and file names that require them. Pick once and stick with it, since changing live URLs costs.
• I'm importing 200 products to Shopify with a CSV; how do I generate English handles for all of them at once?Paste your English product titles one per line in batch mode and get one slug per line in the same order, ready for a spreadsheet column. Watch out for duplicates.
• My offer title has emojis, exclamation marks and a plus sign; why did they all disappear from the URL?The slug generator keeps letters and digits only; every symbol or emoji becomes a separator, then separators collapse. So a decorated title gives a clean slug.
• My product title has 500 g written in Arabic-Indic digits; should the number stay like that in the URL or become Western digits?In Arabic mode digits stay as typed and are encoded like Arabic letters; Latin mode turns them into 0 to 9. How to choose one digit style for all your store URLs.
• How do I make a URL for a product with a French or German name that has letters like é and ß?Latin mode strips accents so é becomes e, and maps letters that cannot be decomposed through a small table so ß becomes ss. Anything left over is dropped and listed.
• Why did the word 'and' appear in my product URL when I only typed an ampersand?In Latin mode & becomes 'and' by default so the meaning survives in the URL. When to switch it off, what happens to names like M&M, and why 'amp' sometimes appears.
• I have two abayas with the same name in different colours and sizes; how do I give each one a different URL?The same title always gives the same slug, and the tool never adds numbers or knows your existing URLs. Put the difference in the title: colour, size or fabric.
• I typed my product title in Arabic, chose Latin mode and got an empty slug; why?Latin mode keeps only a-z and 0-9, so a purely Arabic title leaves nothing, and the tool lists what it removed. Three fixes, and why the tool does not translate.
• My product title has Arabic diacritics; will they end up in the URL?The slug generator removes Arabic vowel marks, tanween, shadda and the tatweel in both modes before building the slug, so marked and plain titles give the same URL.
• I'm preparing URLs for products I haven't launched yet; are the titles I type sent to any server?The slug generator builds slugs in your browser with fixed rules and neither uploads nor stores titles. Prepare a launch catalog without names leaving your device.
