I have a problem with redirecting an URL that contains an mutated vowel like "ä, ö, ü".
This is my Setup:
Visiting this: geschaeftsdrucksachen-c-1/geschäftsformulare-p-6
Takes you here: konfigurator/geschaeftsformulare-din-a-4
Keep URL Parameters: None
If i call the URL i want to redirect i get an 404.
Is there any way to get this to work? All other redirects working well on the site.
Thanks in advance.
Depending on your server and site settings any non-ASCII character may be expressed URL-encoded instead of their raw UTF-8 representation.
So, the "Visiting this" field should be
geschaeftsdrucksachen-c-1/gesch%C3%A4ftsformulare-p-6 in this case.
However, before doing that, please go to Joomla's Global Configuration, Site tab and set Unicode Aliases to Yes. Joomla will now recognise non-ASCII characters in the URLs' path as long as the server itself doesn't return it URL encode. In most cases setting that option to Yes allows you to use umlauts in German or even entirely different character sets like Greek, Cyrillic, Japanese, Chinese etc. On my test setup with Apache 2.4 doing that lets me redirect URLs with German umlauts and Greek characters (these are part of the automated testing suite for Admin Tools).

Thanks for the instant support!
The "Unicode Aliases" option was already enabled! But if i change the "ä" into "%C3%A4" it works.
Thanks for your time mate!
You're welcome!
