fix: slugify supports better acronyms and preserve non-latin char (#606)

* fix: slugify supports better acronyms and preserve non-latin char

Update slugify function to handle better acronyms and preserve non-latin characters.
- uses slugify (simov) for Latin-only strings to fix acronym issue (eg: e2e-testing)
- uses lodash.kebabcase for strings with non-latin characters to preserve them

* fix: remove dots in slugified titles for view transitions

Fixes #584
