In order to use tag aliases as a slug or URL query it makes sense to use contaos slug generator (defaults on ausi/slug-generator) instead of the StringUtil::generateAlias method.

"valid alias characters" and/or "language" of the root page will be used to generate the alias/slug:
'ASCII numbers and lowercase letters' and 'de' would convert "Äpfel" to "aepfel"

instead of StringUtil::generateAlias

I don't think that's possible in form like that, because you can have multiple website roots with different configurations and the tags are not tied to website roots. This could be a setting in the tag manager configuration, though, maybe.

So, the tag manager would have two optional extra configuration items: locale (defaults to 'en') and validChars (defaults to '0-9a-z' in /src/DependencyInjection/Configuration.php)

The /src/Manager/DefaultManager.php (and /src/Manager/ManagerInterface.php) would get two new methods: getLocale() and getValidChars().

The method onAliasSaveCallback() in /src/EventListener/DataContainer/TagListener.php:303

$aliasOptions = \Contao\PageModel::findBytype('root')->id ?? [];

would change to

$manager = $this->registry->get($dc->activeRecord->source); // Selected source
$aliasOptions = [
    'locale' => $manager->getLocale(),
    'validChars' => $manager->getValidChars()
];

Pleas check out my last commit. I am not entirely sure, if this would be a breaking change – I don't think so…

Thank you, looks good. I will have a look at it soon.

'locale' => $manager->getLocale(),
'validChars' => $manager->getValidChars()
];
$value = System::getContainer()->get('contao.slug')->generate($dc->activeRecord->name, $aliasOptions);
