it doesnt send also messeges in arabic or hebrew title, and also i can't create category in arabic
i understood this code supports multi language but it has lots of problem,
can you help please?

Hello,

Please edit the `topic` method of `app/controllers/Forums.php` and the following like around 218 before `$topic = $this->forums_model->getTopicBySlug($slug);`

```php
$slug = urldecode($slug);
```
If this don't resolve the issue, then we can modify the slug method to generate random slug and not to use arabic chars.

I didn't get you second message. Please take screenshot so that I know what page are you talking about.

Thank you

thats awesome! works great!

I am glad to now. Thank you for updating

Hello again,
in the same topic, how can i make category slug in Arabic or Hebrew?
it lets me enter slug only in english
thanks

Hello,

Yes, only sEnglish is support for slug that's the reason for error for admins.

To disable the validation, you will need to edit the `add` & `edit` methods of `app/controllers/Categories.php` and remove the `alpha_dash` rule for the slug.

The line will look like this

```php
$this->form_validation->set_rules('slug', lang('slug'), 'trim|required|is_unique[categories.slug]');
```

Thank you

i did as you instructed and unfortunaltely it still doesn't work, i still get this message when i try to add category:
Slug can only consist of alphabetical, numbers, underscores and dashes

Hello,

That might be due to js validation, you can edit `themes/default/views/categories/add.php` and `edit.php` and remove the regex validation from `data-fv-regexp="true" data-fv-regexp-regexp="^[a-zA-Z0-9\_-]+$" data-fv-regexp-message="' . lang('slug_regex') . '"` slug form input.

Thank you

hello, thank you! now it lets me create a category with slug in other langauge,
But when i try to click on the category i get error 404, it says:
We can't seem to find the page your're looking for.

Hello,

It would be due to same reason as of topics.

You can edit the `index` method of the `app/controllers/Forums.php` and add

```php
$category_slug = urldecode($category_slug);
```

Thank you
