Article's alias transliteration doesn't work

[sirbal]

Article's alias automatic creation (by J1.6 core) works good only for Unicode aliases (UTF-8), instead of transliteration of cyrillic characters (like "7-pervoe-intervyu" ) alias automatically is set to date (like "32-2011-03-22-13-58-48").
Strange enough that 2 days before I had no such problem, everything was working fine; no changes in the php-code were performed.
Is there any solution of this problem (without SH404 etc.)?

Global Config:
Search Engine Friendly URLs - Yes
Use Apache mod_rewrite - Yes
Adds Suffix to URL - No
Unicode Aliases - No

If your language pack does not include the right function to change Cyrillic to ASCII, this is normal behavior.
1.6 default transliteration, although covering a larger scope than 1.5 (it includes now latin_2), does not include Cyrillic.

which a function like this one in xx-XX.localise.php (where xx-XX is the language used when editing)

Therefore, if you are using English as your default language, just add the function in en-GB.localise.php and save the file as UTF8 NO BOM.

Thank you for reply, it helped me found the solution
Cyrillic transliteration works only if Russian is default language not only for the front-end, but for admin panel as well.

As I suggested, just add the function in the other languages installed in your site will solve all.
