Comment (by lloydbudd):

 I don't think this issue should be "fixed". It isn't the best experience
 for most people to show a field that will confuse them.

 Replying to [ticket:6364 RanYanivHartstein]:

 Sounds like a bug that needs being fixed. In the mean time a Hebrew
 WordPress package could be customized or a plugin to enable set slug
 created (is infrastucture needed?)


 Replying to [comment:7 hervada]:
 > (To your information: I use the post slugs in my cross-references-plugin
 as an alternative post ID when setting cross-references from one post to
 another. This has nothing to do whith permalinks, but uses the post slug,
 too.)

 Sounds like your plugin should provide its own cust field if it truly has
 nothing to do with permalinks.
