regex

I have a textbox where a user puts a string like this:

"hello world! I think that __i__ am awesome (yes I am!)"

I need to create a correct url like this:

hello-world-i-think-that-i-am-awesome-yes-i-am

How can be done using reg expressions?

Also, is it possible to do it with Greek (for example)?

"Ge?a s?? ??sµe"

turns to

geia-sou-kosme

In other programming languages (python/ruby) I am using a translation array. Should I do the same here?
