# Long file names and transliteration

The widespread situation when you keep files with names which consist of a long name, Cyrillic, Greek or other alphabets, various symbols like space, comma and etc. As a result, you need time to rename file names to comply with the standards. The component removes extra characters and limit file names according to the max length parameter and converts symbols from uppercase to lowercase.

If you have had a file:\
`БОЛЬШОЙ праздник в городе!!# Октябрь=.jpg`

After uploading, the file name will get the following name:\
`bolshoy-prazdnik-v-gorode-oktyabr.jpg`

The transliteration table takes from the localization file of a language used in your Joomla back-end by default. You can set a maximum length of a filename via the parameter of the same name.

Go to **Options > Global Options** tab and you will find the required parameter.

### Postfix

[The postfix](#5.1.-postfix) mode allows you to add a hash to the file name to avoid uploading a file with the same name over the existing one. E.g. you have a file: `picture.jpg`. Soon you decided to upload another image that has the same name, but you want to keep the old file on your site. Enable postfix and when you upload `picture.jpg` file on your site and if the file with the same name already exists, a new `picture_pxxxxxx.jpg` (where `x` - there are numbers) file will be added.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.norrnext.com/quantum-manager/best-practices/long-file-names-and-transliteration.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
