Hi,

Need some advise here.

I have done a normal mod rewrite without any problems.

But it seems that i am unable to do mod rewrite with other language.

Eg.

/items/computer will rewrite to items.php?name=computer

When trying chinese,

/items/[chineseword] will suppose to rewrite to items.php?name=[chineseword]

But it didnt work.

If i directly type in the actual url
items.php?name=[chineseword] , it works.


I have googled and it seems no one out there trying mod rewrite other language.

Can anyone provide me some hint?
Is it mod rewrite do not support other language?
Or there is some addon modules functions to do this?

Thanks.

What does your mod rewrite query look like?

I'm not sure that non-ascii characters can be used in URI.
From wikipedia: [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interna...ed_domain_name ]

An internationalized domain name (IDN) is an Internet domain name that (potentially) contains non-ASCII characters. Such domain names could contain letters with diacritics, as required by many non-English languages, or characters from non-Latin scripts such as Arabic or Chinese or Hindi. However, the standard for domain names does not allow such characters, and much work has gone into finding a way to internationalize domain names into a standard ASCII format, thereby preserving the stability of the domain name system.
