CakePHP slug converting my Bangla text to English - cakephp

Question

I am trying to save category name after convert in slug
So in entity I have used setter for convert my text to slug text
protected function _setName($name)
{
return Text::slug($name);
}
After send post request in input name "আমি তোমায় ভালোবাসি"
Has got in database
ami-tomaya-bhalobasi
After make transliteratorId false
return Text::slug($name,[
'transliteratorId' => false
]);
I got output : আম-ত-ম-য-ভ-ল-ব-স
My expected result is
আমি-তোমায়-ভালোবাসি
How can I get my desire result ?

Answer 1

The whole point of slugs is to obtain a "safe" pure US-ASCII string. If all you seemingly want is to remove white spaces you can use a simple regular expression:
preg_replace('/\s/u', '-', 'আমি তোমায় ভালোবাসি')
However, I recommend you double-check why you think this is necessary in the first place. A properly encoded URL would display spaces as %20 anyway, which is "ugly" in a Latin script text but will get unnoticed in other scripts:
var_dump(rawurlencode('আমি তোমায় ভালোবাসি'));
string(159) "%E0%A6%86%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BF%20%E0%A6%A4%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%AE%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%AF%E0%A6%BC%20%E0%A6%AD%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B2%E0%A7%8B%E0%A6%AC%E0%A6%BE%E0%A6%B8%E0%A6%BF"
