Pretty simple. But it won’t be available in the picker. You will need to add the call to the formatter in code.

This was just a suggestion in case you are blocked. Your feature request still stands.

Please add specific language support for slugify formatter

For App Connect you can create a custom formatter, I think speakingurl (https://github.com/pid/speakingurl) is a very good library. Add the script include to your page <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/speakingurl/14.0.1/speakingurl.min.js"></script> The add a custom script block or put it in a file dmx.Formatter('string', 'getSlug', function(val) { return getSlug(val, { lang: 'de' }); }); The in the expression use it like {{ 'Äpfel & Birnen!'.getSlug() }}.
