Hi,

Please confirm that I understood your issue correctly:
URLs containing Greek characters are changed and show as containing % characters, correct?

If this is the case, then it is not an issue with WPML, this is simply how URLs work. URLs support ASCII characters, and any character that is not in the ASCII charset is encoded using a percentage sign (%).

If you want to avoid these URLs, you can do so by setting the WPML -> Settings -> Translated documents options -> Page URL option to "Copy from original language if translation language uses encoded URLs".

Please update me if this answers your question, or if I misunderstood your issue in any way.
If I did, please provide your WPML debug information. You can see exactly how to do that here:

This ticket is now closed. If you're a WPML client and need related help, please open a new support ticket.
