Displaying Accented Letters Together with Non-Accented Ones

Back to User Guides


This feature is only available in the Pro+ and Ecommerce editions of the WordPress Glossary plugin.

In most European languages the Latin letters also have accented versions - eg: c / ć, z / ź, s / ś, o / ó / ä / ü  

Tooltip Glossary allows you to choose if these letters are grouped/ordered separately or together with their Latin (base) letter. Check the Front-End examples.
