Urls problem after converting to uft-8.

[saiff]

Hi,

I converted the character encoding to uft8, but I have a problem with urls. the Arabic words appear as symbols.

I tried with urlfixer but I could not, because I riderect to home page

an example here

vbulletin version 5.2.6

They are designed to be encoded because they aren't supported. The browser would interpret them based on its own rules.

Thank you for the reply

That is how it works currently.

strange what he says wayane.

It should appear normal as in the example. otherwise it is a disaster for the seo

It should be better...however, don't fall for the SEO stuff. URLs have meant very little in terms of SEO for years now. Google looks at what's on the site, they aren't fooled by URLs, meta tags or any of the other silly trickery that used to do the rounds.

excuse, because in other forums appear normal? look at the results in google as they appear. nobody's going to click them

How did you solve it?
