Localization + Mod Rewrite

[Jean Boucher]

I am using an .htaccess that I have found here:
https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/show...taccess/page15

My Forum will be in French & we use accented characters...
The problem is: with Mod Rewrite the accented caracters are being used in the composition of the URLS...

Example here:
http://www.tribuseo.com/threads/2-2e-test-accents-???

Found this:
http://www.unexpectedit.com/php/php-...lar-ascii-char

and this:
http://www.yourinspirationweb.com/en...l-second-part/

but I don't know how to implement it

You don't want to use mod_rewrite/.htaccess, should ideally be done in php.

You using UTF-8?

Look into something like this
https://www.vbulletin.com/forum/show...rting-to-UTF-8

--------------- Added [DATE]1308502327[/DATE] at [TIME]1308502327[/TIME] ---------------

Actually, try this

AdminCP>Settings>Options>Friendly URLs>

Look at Friendly URL Unicode

And try the different settings to see which one best suits your site URL format.

Yes I am using UTF-8

Here is a screen capture of a test URL:



As you can see I have accented characters in the URL.

You were mentionning doing this in PHP

How do I do this?
Which file?
