A generated slug can contain a valid-looking number while losing every word that identifies the page. When preparing Hindi headings, compare each result with its original topic before copying it into a publishing field.
Compare two topics that produce the same result
Open the Text to Slug Generator. Choose Hyphen, set Max length to 0, keep Force lowercase and Keep numbers checked, and leave Strip stop words unchecked.
Enter each heading below separately in Heading or title. Read Slug after each entry.
| Hindi heading | Topic | Generated slug |
|---|---|---|
| कक्षा 6 विज्ञान प्रश्न | Class 6 science questions | 6 |
| कक्षा 6 गणित प्रश्न | Class 6 mathematics questions | 6 |
The headings describe different subjects, yet the outputs are identical. The surviving digit gives no indication of whether a reader will find science or mathematics questions. Keep both original headings beside their results during your review so that each page retains its topic.
Find where the topic words disappeared
The tool performs some Latin-letter substitutions and Unicode NFD normalization before filtering the text to ASCII letters and digits. NFD decomposes characters into a canonical form, as described in the MDN normalization reference. Here, it does not convert the Hindi words into Latin spellings. The later filter removes those words and keeps the ASCII digit 6.
As a diagnostic, uncheck Keep numbers for either heading. The slug becomes empty. Recheck it before continuing. The number was the entire surviving result, so changing its capitalization or separator cannot recover the subject words.
Keep a reviewed heading-to-slug mapping
For a site that uses romanized Hindi slugs, choose the spellings deliberately and keep each candidate attached to its original heading. These are manually chosen examples for the two topics above. Enter each phrase separately using the initial settings.
| Topic | Manually entered phrase | Generated slug |
|---|---|---|
| Science questions | kaksha 6 vigyan prashn |
kaksha-6-vigyan-prashn |
| Mathematics questions | kaksha 6 ganit prashn |
kaksha-6-ganit-prashn |
The distinct subject words now survive. Have the spellings reviewed for your audience and follow the convention already used on the site. Google recommends words in the audience’s language, including transliterated words where appropriate. If your site’s convention keeps Hindi script, check that intended slug in the CMS and inspect its saved permalink. See the Google URL structure guidance.
Before publishing, check both complete permalinks and confirm that each opens the intended draft preview. Our slug selection guide covers the editor checks. Preserve the original heading, approved candidate and final permalink together so a plausible digit-only result cannot pass as a finished address.
