[Forum] Search Engine Friendly URL MOD rewrite - ISO-8559-2 - problem with Polish characters

[milaszewski]

The problem is related with all parts of the website, but I will show you my main page example:

Main page is called "Strona Główna". When I enter www.dzwiek.org what I get is:

http://www.dzwiek.org/content/1-Strona-G%B3%F3wna

instead of:

http://www.dzwiek.org/content/1-Strona-Główna

The problem is that both locations work, and if I access the main page from a link on my website the address is sometimes correct. This confuses google and it recognizes that as duplicate content.

Is there anything I can do to make sure that the URL is always looking correct?

Hello...
I think I am facing the same problem as you do.

The you can find Polish characters "ł - ó - ż - ź - ś - ę" in the titles and in the url in the address bar:

The problem appears when you right-click on the title of a forum/article/thread with Polish characters and you paste it.... it "translates" with the % signs as you mentioned.

Please confirm if it is the same problem you are facing. If yes, we both have the same problem. The only difference is that I have all in UTF-8, database and language pack, I think you are running ISO-8859-2.

I am really concerned in resolving this....

it's showing properly now because I fixed it myself
In vbulletin options there is a setting that is responsible for converting urls to utf8 coding. I had it disabled. After enabling it, everything is fine.

Yes, but try to copy and paste a link with these characters It still pastes the "old" ones...
