slugify fail for long string of other language e.gMarathi,Hindi,kannada etc..... about slugify HOT 9 CLOSED

Seems that slugify do not have rules for that language (btw what language it is?).

Can you provide rules for transliteration? And some examples so we could make a pull request from it?

@sharvari1 Slugify currently does not support Marathi, Hindi or Kannada (as @mac2000 mentioned we would appreciate it if you could provide transliterations for these).

Do you mean that the transliteration fail because it produces not the desired result or does it produce an PHP error or exception. If there is an error or exception could you please provide the following:

• Exact error message (and stack trace if available)
• Exact PHP version
• Exact Slugify version

Have checked - symbols are removed, only digits left, e.g. $slugify->slugify('11:50AM - बांगलादेशमध्ये सलग तिसऱ्या वर्षी आशिया कप टी-ट्वेंटी स्पर्धेचे आयोजन करण्यात आले असून २४ फेब्रुवारी ते ६ मार्च दरम्यान ही स्पर्धा होणार आहे.') will produce 11-50am

Thanks for checking this. Yes, we would need transliterations for these languages then.

For Hindi I found an alphabet which we could use: http://mylanguages.org/hindi_alphabet.php
But I could not find one for Marathi.

Can you specify how it fails. For PHP 5.6 the original message you posted did produce a valid result based on the current set of rules.

It directly terminate the execution of program for php 5.4.14

According to the tests I added Slugify works fine with unknown unicode characters in PHP 5.4.37.

Can you try increasing PCRE backtrack limit? See http://www.karlrixon.co.uk/writing/php-regular-expression-fails-silently-on-long-strings/

@Poojal123 Were you able to try increasing PCRE backtrack limit? Since we can't reproduce the bug I am closing this issue now. If you continue to have problems please reopen.
