CMSMS does not support utf-8 characters in the URL (yet). This is due to historical considerations when most browsers didn't.

You can go to the 'options' tab and enter in an ASCII alias when adding and/or editing a page.

I would like to add that you can move the 'alias' field from the 'options' tab to the 'Main' tab. That might make it a little easier for the editors to remember to fill in a proper value:

Site Admin -> Global Settings -> Content Editing Settings [tab]

'Basic Properties' (note: this is a multi select box. Just ctrl-select the properties you want in the Main tab and click 'submit').

Further: maybe it's possible to do something with Event Manager? Never did it myself though.

'ContentEditPre' might be a candidate. Check the content object for empty alias and with some self-made algorithm fill it with allowed characters.

Not sure if thats a good idea or even feasible. Don't know if it will take care of duplicates etc.
