Regards Mathias")* Hi, The product name you got in the url is the "product alias". This alias is generated in the function "addAlias" for the product class ( administrator/components/com_hikashop/classes/product.php ) and more precisely, this code: Code: $config = JFactory::getConfig(); if(!$config->get('unicodeslugs')){ $lang = JFactory::getLanguage(); $element->alias = $lang->transliterate($element->alias); } $app = JFactory::getApplication(); if(method_exists($app,'stringURLSafe')){ $element->alias = $app->stringURLSafe($element->alias); }else{ $element->alias = JFilterOutput::stringURLSafe($element->alias); } The goal of the code is to : 1 - Make a transliteration when the Joomla option "unicodeslugs" is not activated. 2 - Call the Joomla url safe function for the security. I think that your problem is with the transliteration. As you can see in the code, this function is a Joomla function of the Joomla language system. You can see to put some debug traces in the class to display the "$element->alias" before and after the call of the transliterate function, to see that this function make the modification or not. But I really think that the Joomla transliteration for the swedish language, made these modifications. If so, you can see to change the Joomla option "unicodeslugs" to not use the transliteration.
