How to modify transliteration?

Permalink
If I set page name to "Ääliö" (jerk in Finnish), the alias is automatically set to "aeaelioe". Am I able to modify the transliteration so that "Ääliö" becomes to "aalio"? It's a lot easier to read.

I know that I can change the alias manually, but most of my customers, who actually edit those pages, won't do that.

Yeah, this is not suitable for everyone, so I'd like to override the transliteration table somehow, without hacking the core and messing updates.

I have no idea what script or file makes the alias automatically, and if this is just javascript thing.

Hi, new to Concrete5 and must say I am amazed. :)
Even this being quite old thread I don't know where else to post regarding alias transliteration solution which I created and hope work for almost all languages:

/concrete/elements/collection_add.php
(must be utf-8 encoded after change)

original line 9 ... 17
// thanks fernandos
        alias = alias.replace(/[\u00C4\u00E4]/gi, "ae");            // €Š    
        alias = alias.replace(/[\u00D6\u00F6]/gi, "oe");            // …š    
        alias = alias.replace(/[\u00DF]/gi, "ss");                  // §    
        alias = alias.replace(/[\u00DC\u00FC]/gi, "ue");            // †ź
        alias = alias.replace(/[\u00C6\u00E6]/gi, "ae");            // ®ľ 
        alias = alias.replace(/[\u00D8\u00F8]/gi, "oe");            // ż 
        alias = alias.replace(/[\u00C5\u00E5]/gi, "aa");            // Ś    
        alias = alias.replace(/[\u00E8\u00C8\u00E9\u00C9]/gi, "e"); // ŽƒŹé
