Expected Behavior

links with "-" and spaces beetwen must contain only one "-"
links with different language - transliterate into english.

Current Behavior

if I named my book test - build , link looks like test---build , how can I change it to test-build ( even if I have spaces in book name)
2)because I name books on russian , its little problem here, links looks like: http://bookstack/public/books/%D0%B4%D0%BE%D0%BA%D1%83%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%BA%D0%B8---1001225
or on chrome:

Is that any way to turn on english translit?

Steps to Reproduce

name book with spaces and "-" on russian
watch for 1-step result in chrome .

Hi @S1AnGeR, Thanks for creating this issue.
Does the - issue actually cause any errors at all or is the issue purely visual?

In regards to translating urls to English, I'm not sure this is something I'd think is worth adding to the project due to the complexity involved. I would have generally thought you'd want the url to read in the same language as the content? Is it simply the length of the encoded URL that's the issue here?

It is possible to create a short link to any page if it's for sharing. You can highlight any page content and a popup will appear with a link. This link will be to the exact block you highlighted. Remove everything after the # in the url to link just to the page.
