INLVL Transliterator is a free online tool for fast and accurate transliteration from Russian and Ukrainian into Latin characters. It generates SEO-friendly URL slugs and filenames, normalizes symbols, removes stop words, and helps keep strings within a defined length. Perfect for content managers, SEO specialists, webmasters, and editors who need clean, readable page URLs and filenames without manual editing.
Why transliteration matters for SEO
- Readable URLs — human-friendly URLs improve snippet CTR and increase trust in your website.
- Consistent style — Latin characters in URLs and filenames prevent encoding issues and “garbled” text.
- Clean indexing — predictable URLs help crawlers and reduce the risk of duplicates.
- Faster content workflow — automatic slugs and filenames save the editorial team valuable time.
What our transliterator can do
- Modes: URL-slug or Filename (with extension keeping/auto-adding).
- Separator: choose your symbol (commonly a hyphen
-). - Maximum length: limit the slug according to your project’s requirements (60/80/120 or any custom value).
- Symbol normalization: converts text to lowercase, removes extra spaces, special symbols, and invisible characters.
- Stop-word removal: optional — for even cleaner and shorter URLs.
- Privacy: no data is sent to the server — the processing happens directly in your browser.
How to use it — 3 simple steps
- Paste a page title or a list of titles into the “Source text” field.
- Select the mode (URL-slug or Filename), choose the separator and maximum length, and enable normalization or stop-words if needed.
- Click “Convert” — copy the result with one button or download it as a
.txtlist.
Supported languages and rules
The tool correctly processes Russian and Ukrainian texts using commonly accepted mappings and positional rules. Below are the key replacement pairs that ensure readability and consistency:
| Russian (RU) | Latin |
|---|---|
| щ | shch |
| ш | sh |
| ч | ch |
| ж | zh |
| ю / я / ё | yu / ya / yo |
| й | y |
| Ukrainian (UA) | Latin |
|---|---|
| г / ґ | h / g |
| щ / ш / ч / ж | shch / sh / ch / zh |
| є / ї / ю / я | ye / yi / yu / ya (positional) |
| й | y |
Positional rules apply to letters like “є/ї/ю/я”: at the beginning of a word or after a vowel, an initial “y” is added (e.g., є → ye), while in other positions a simplified form is used.
Examples of transformation
- RU:
Письменный стол с надстройкой 120×60 см→pismennyj-stol-s-nadstrojkoj-120x60-sm - UA:
Письмовий стіл з надбудовою (білий) — №5!.jpg→pysmovyj-stil-z-nadbudovoyu-bilyj-5.jpg - RU (filename):
Набор фото — июнь 2025.png→nabor-foto-iyun-2025.png
Practical SEO-URL tips
- Keep URLs within 60–80 characters for key pages — this keeps them short and clickable.
- Use a hyphen as a separator — it’s the most natural choice for both search engines and users.
- Avoid stop-words in the middle of a URL (unless meaningful), but don’t sacrifice readability.
- Maintain stability: don’t change slugs of indexed pages without a proper 301 redirect.
- For filenames, add meaningful context:
