Why does Moz see short Russian & Chinese urls as too long
Basically I don't think Moz records enriched URL names, because their database and / or CSV output is incapable of storing rich characters (e.g: in UTF-8 you have Latin and Greek characters, but with super basic txt sub-formats like ANSI you do not). As such Moz is forced to 'convert' the URLs to utilise URL encoding: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp - whereby a combination of 'allowed' symbols creates the special characters in your browser window (once a link is visited) In reality it would be better if Moz would just update their tools to support special characters as they see a lot of common usage in URL strings these days, particularly in Western / Eastern Europe (and beyond) Unless Moz were to update their tool I think you'd just have to 'manually ignore' those errors or recalculate the 'real' values yourself in a spreadsheet
