      I am working on a multilingual blog build in WordPress.From the first day I see the URL structure getting abrupt when I add an article in other language.
      The following is an example of abrupt URL.
      http://muslim-academy.com/%D9%81%D8%B6%D9%84-%D9%82%D8%B1%D8%A7%D8%A1%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%82%D8%B1%D8%A2%D9%86-3/

      is their some plugin to fix it or some manual change?

        I was unable to find a plug-in that will decode your URL however I do have some information on how to fix it

        I took your URL and placed it into a decoder and got this

        http://muslim-academy.com/فضل-قراءة-القرآن-3/

        I'm assuming this is what you want?

        here is the link to the decoder

        http://www.statmyweb.com/tools/encode_decode/

        as far as any plug-in goes this is as close as I could find.

        I think reading this will benefit you as well

        http://crunchify.com/java-how-to-encode-or-decode-url-string-or-form-parameter/

        http://webstartavenue.com/free-widgets/url-decodeencode-widget.html

        here is a good example of a website that is able to use the same language you are however also other languages and not have an issue with the encoding of URLs

        I hope this can need you in the right direction,

        Thomas

          This is all to do with the technical handling of non ASCII characters and how they have to be presented in the URL.  If the browser is set to UTF-8 then it should be able to read the percent encoding. Take a read of these:
