I’m new to Hugo and I’m playing with it to see if it could replace my actual WordPress blog .
I managed to get all posts in Hugo, the same way they are on my blog (with the same URL, which is nice), but I have some problems. One of which involves taxonomies : as I’m writing in French, I need to support special characters, like é or à.
Without tweaking anything, Hugo just uses these characters in URL (for instance, http://blog.com/tags/entrée). What I’d like is the same behavior than WordPress : keep the name with all special characters for display, but use a special URL without them.
Is there a way to do so in Hugo ? Maybe I missed something in docs, but I have found nothing about this case.
By the way, I’m impressed with Hugo speed : with around 600 posts, and lots and lots of taxonomies, I can generate everything in less than a minute.

If I can deal with all the minor issues I have, maybe I’ll switch…
No there is not a current workaround for your accented URLs. If you believe it should behave differently, open up an issue on GitHub.
I’m a little bit curious about your site, though. It’s very unusual in it’s distribution (more acteurs than pages etc.). I would expect it to run faster than 47 seconds, but maybe the pages are big?
Ok then, I’ll open an issue. I think it will be a common problem for every non-english users, so I guess it’s worth trying to fix.
As for my blog, I do a lot of movie review, and each actor is a taxonomy. So it’s no surprise I have more taxonomies than posts. But I imported the whole site, with around 1100 posts, and I have strange results. Sometimes, Hugo does everything in less than 30 seconds. Sometimes, it needs more than a minute, I don’t know why…
(and if you’re willing to share the source somehow, I will gladly build it myself and see what takes time. I would expect more consistent build times < 20 seconds.)
I have looked at your project. Out-of-the box on my i5 Ubuntu laptop I had to kill the process … My PC got unresponsive …
But then I notice you use a new feature in Hugo 0.14 that allows media (jpg, png etc) to live in the same folder as the content files.
By moving these files to /static (same folder structure):
0 draft content
0 future content

Hello, I’m french too and am looking for the exact same thing : special characters in categories’ names not appearing in URLs.
Presently if I have a category named “présentement”, the slug for it is “présentement” instead of “presentement” (whereas other characters like the single quotes, for example, are removed, as wanted), how to fix it ?
I found it. Just have to put this line in the config file :
RemovePathAccents = true
