The Bilingual URL Slug Sanitizer turns any page title — English, Khmer, or a mix of both — into a clean, SEO-friendly URL slug. Choose your separator, maximum length, lowercase and stop-word options, and pick how Khmer script should be handled: strip it out, keep it in the URL with a percent-encoded preview showing exactly what browsers will request, or transliterate it into an approximate Latin romanization using a built-in Khmer character map. The tool then shows the finished slug, a full URL preview with your own domain prefix, and a checklist confirming the slug has no double or trailing separators, stays within a sensible length, and is ASCII-safe.
This free tool by Hosting Cambodia solves a very Cambodian problem: Khmer titles are perfect for readers, but pasted into a URL they become long %E1%9E… strings when shared on Telegram or Facebook. Bloggers, news sites and shops across Cambodia can use the transliteration mode to publish short readable slugs like sevakamm-web-hosting while keeping the Khmer headline on the page itself, all processed instantly in the browser.
Frequently asked questions
Should my URL slug use hyphens or underscores?
Use hyphens. Google treats hyphens as word separators but joins words connected by underscores, so red-wine is read as two words while red_wine may be read as one. Hyphens are the long-standing recommendation for readable, crawlable URLs.
Is it bad for SEO to keep Khmer script in my URLs?
No — Google indexes Unicode URLs fine, and Khmer slugs can even help relevance for Khmer-language searches. The trade-off is cosmetic: shared links show as percent-encoded text in some apps and logs. If that bothers you, use the transliteration mode for a short Latin slug instead.
How accurate is the Khmer-to-Latin transliteration?
It is an approximate, character-based romanization designed to produce readable slugs, not a linguistically perfect transcription. Khmer has vowels and subscript consonants that no simple map can render exactly, so always review the suggested slug and edit it before publishing.
