Django Admin autocomplete with diacritic support (transliteration / accent support)

[Alex Scott]

Hello,

I'm using the built-in autocomplete for my admin section which I believe uses the Select2 package.  In the documentation of Select2, it says diacritic-modified letters will be translated into ASCII counterparts by default.  They give a nice example there.

But that doesn't seem to be the case in the Django admin.  I type in "bene" and it doesn't match bénédictine.

Any help to fix this would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Alex
