Cyrillic to Latin for URLs

Cyrillic URLs work, but they break when copied, look like a string of percent signs in chat and confuse some systems. Here, a title becomes a clean URL according to the Bulgarian Transliteration Act — the same one used to spell names on Bulgarian ID cards.

  • Follows the Bulgarian standard
  • A whole list at once
  • Runs in your browser

Each line becomes a separate URL — you can paste an entire list.

How to use the tool

  1. Enter the title

    One line — one URL. You can paste a whole list of titles and get them all at once.

  2. Set the rules

    Separator, maximum length and whether a final “-iya” becomes “-ia”. Short words such as “na” and “za” can optionally be dropped.

  3. Copy

    The finished URL contains only lowercase Latin letters, digits and hyphens — no spaces and no characters that get encoded.

Frequently asked questions

The Bulgarian Transliteration Act — the letters are rendered as zh, ch, sh, sht, a (for the vowel “ă”), yu and ya. It's the same system used to spell your name in a Bulgarian passport.

Because of an explicit rule for the ending “-iya” at the end of a word: it is written as “-ia”. That's why the capital is Sofia, not Sofiya. You can turn the rule off with the checkbox if you prefer the literal version.

Hyphen. Search engines read a hyphen as a separator between words, but not an underscore. For page URLs, the difference matters.

Not for this reason. Changing a working URL requires a 301 redirect and always costs some of what it has built up. The rule applies to new pages.
