  <p>I need a function which makes "clean URL strings" like Wordpress. 
  For example:
  "This is a string with frénch and gêrmän special chars + other mean stuff and I'd like to use it as an URL"
  Shall be transformed into this:
  "this-is-a-string-with-french-and-german-special-chars-other-mean-stuff-and-id-like-to-use-it-as-an-url"</p>
  
  <p>Please help my laziness, it was a hard day already :-)</p>
