Hello!
I'm working in cooperation with photographer. I asked her to name image files using transliteration. I suggested to use some software which generates '(apostrophe) for some letters.
I tried to synchronize such images via Virtuemart admin pannel and that was successful. But two question arose.
Can apostrophes in image names lead to some technical troubles in a site work?
The second question is how will search engines treat such images from the point of SEO?
J3.4.5+VM3.0.9
On some servers mod_security will not permit the use of apostophies in filenames, and a lot of software will baulk at their use. But ISTR that you can get way with apostrophes in filenames by first encoding them, eg tom's.jpg would become tom%27s.jpg - but that would be no use for SEO. The filename may also be modified on saving in the db - see https://bytes.com/topic/php/answers/2721-saving-filenames-unix-server-apostrophe-filename-help-needed
I always adopt the traditional approach to file naming, only alphanumeric characters together with hyphen or underscore instead of spaces.
