Product Images Translit
The add-on turns product image file names into readable Latin names based on the product title. It helps remove Cyrillic and random file names from image URLs, keep the media library cleaner, and reduce issues with external services, SEO tools, and data feeds.
What it is for
The add-on is useful for stores where product images are uploaded with Russian names, technical names, or inconsistent file names. After processing, image files receive transliterated names based on the product title, and the image paths are updated in the store automatically.
Key features
Renames main and additional product images based on the product title. Provides bulk processing for all product images from a dedicated admin section. Automatically transliterates images when a product is updated. Prevents filename conflicts by adding a numeric suffix. Clears the thumbnail cache after renaming.
How it works
An administrator runs bulk processing in the Product Images Transliteration section. The add-on checks product images, builds a filename from the product title, renames the file, and updates the image reference in the store. When a product is updated later, the add-on checks its linked images and applies the same naming rule.

Instructions for Product Images Translit
What the add-on does
The add-on renames product image files using a transliterated version of the product name and updates the file path in the store. It processes main and additional product images. If a file with the same name already exists, the new filename receives a suffix such as -2, -3, and so on.
After renaming, the add-on clears the image thumbnail cache so CS-Cart can rebuild thumbnails with the current paths.
Where to find the add-on
The bulk processing page is available in the admin panel: Administration → Product Images Transliteration.
The add-on has no separate settings. The processing page displays a warning reminding you to create a full website and database backup before running the operation.
How to run bulk processing
- Create a backup of the website files and database before running the operation.
- Open Administration → Product Images Transliteration.
- Click the processing start button.
- Wait until the operation is completed. CS-Cart will show image processing progress.
Automatic processing when a product is updated
When a product is saved, the add-on checks the product images and changes their filenames to a transliterated version of the product name. This applies to the main image and additional images linked to the product.
How to verify the result
- Open a product with a Russian name and an image whose filename does not yet match the product name.
- Save the product or run bulk processing.
- Check that the image file has received a Latin filename based on the product name.
- Make sure the product images are displayed correctly in the storefront and admin panel.
Important notes
File renaming is an irreversible bulk action, so a backup is required before launch. The add-on does not change product names, translate texts, or process images of other store objects unless they are linked to products.
