Here's an example:
https://magazine.jp.square-enix.com/biggangan/ https://magazine.jp.square-enix.com/biggangan/
(Notice: "big gangan" rather than "biggu gangan".)
While it's true that Japan tends to use numbers for dynamic content URLs, this is more about (and using CMSes that require them) than users actually preferring them.
Japanese URLs do frequently tend to be in English, though.
- junar 6y agoI'm not very familiar with CMSs, but what kind of use case would actually benefit from the tool? Your example actually requires human decision-making, since Big Gangan is a proper noun with a canonical English name. I expect most Japanese devs to be as familiar with romanization as English devs are with spelling and grammar, so a tool shouldn't be needed unless you're dealing with a large amount of text and can allow for errors.
