I am creating a localized instance of WordPress and one can easily configure the category and tag parts of the URL but I cannot find anything similar for authors. So for instance I get this:
http://mysite.com/author/borekb
instead of
http://mysite.com/autor/borekb
which would be appropriate in my language. How to achieve that?
(And BTW, can “borekb” be replaced with something like “borek-bernard”, i.e. full name slug instead of username?)

Method 1
Use the plugin Edit Author Slug:
This plugin allows an Admin to change the author slug (a.k.a. – nicename), without having to actually enter the database. You can also change the Author Base (the ‘/author/’ portion of the author URLs). Two new fields will be added to your Dashboard. The “Edit Author Slug” field can be found under Users > Your Profile or Users > Authors & Users (Users > Users in WP 3.0). The “Author Base” field can be found under Settings > Permalinks.
