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.
