When this is set to 1, accented chars in page names will be replaced by their unaccented ASCII equivalents. E.g. ü becomes ue or á becomes a. When set to 2, romanization of pagenames is turned on: symbols from non-Latin alphabets are replaced with close ASCII equivalents. Setting the value to 0 turns off this feature altogether.
