Inside "Name" paste "öäüÖÄÜ"

The Input umlauts should be parsed in the "Slug" Input field like this:

Nothing: The Slug is empty. If someones Name is with umlauts the specific alphabetic character is missing.

This is expected behavior. Those characters are removed because they aren't matched by the regex \w pattern. The slugify convenience function (below) doesn't perform arbitrary character substitution, but you can always modify the slug manually.

function slugify(s, num_chars) {
    s = s.replace(/[^\-\.\w\s]/g, '');          // Remove unneeded chars
    s = s.replace(/^[\s\.]+|[\s\.]+$/g, '');    // Trim leading/trailing spaces
    s = s.replace(/[\-\.\s]+/g, '-');           // Convert spaces and decimals to hyphens
    s = s.toLowerCase();                        // Convert to lowercase
    return s.substring(0, num_chars);           // Trim to first num_chars chars
}
