    Non-English Characters in URLs

    My site is non-English so I put " Keep Non-English Characters in URLs " in CP but now I get urls like this:

    http ://serbianforum.org/doma%C4%87-muzika/
    http ://serbianforum.org/video-igre-pri%C4%8Daonica/
    http ://serbianforum.org/ko%C5%A1arka/

    Should I switch it back to english or I can do something better?

    Thank you

    Are you UTF8? If so, open your config_vbseo.php file and find:

    define('VBSEO_UTF8_SUPPORT', 0);

    Change the 0 to a 1.

    Hmm, when I search for some of this pages in google I can see that url is ok, but when I download sitemap or I check some urls in WMtool I can see urls like in first post.
    Why?

    My Non-Engilsh characters :
    šŠ
    đĐ
    žŽ
    čČ
    ćĆ

    EDIT:

    First update in WBtools and now I have error after doing this.
