Amir Supporter	There is a problem in WPML 3.1.9, causing pages with non-English characters to appear as 404. We can see it on our site too, in pages such as: http://wpml.org/he/%D7%AA%D7%99%D7%A2%D7%95%D7%93/%D7%94%D7%9C%D7%99%D7%91%D7%94-%D7%95%D7%94%D7%AA%D7%95%D7%A1%D7%A4%D7%99%D7%9D-%D7%A9%D7%9C-wpml/ This is due to over-sanitation of URLs. We are fixing this right now and will have an update in a couple of hours. Sorry for the mess, we're on it. This update will be as WPML 3.1.9.1.

Amir Supporter	Yes, very urgent. We're on it right now. We know where it's coming from, just working our how to keep the security closure and avoid this over-escaping of URLs. Almost there.

Amir Supporter	It's updated now. 3.1.9.1 is ready in our downloads. It will take about 15 minutes for this update to be available in your WordPress admin dashboard. Then, you can again 'check for updates' and you'll get 3.1.9.1, which fixes this problem (but still handles all security issues). Again, sorry for this mess and thank you for your patience.

Amir Supporter	I'm looking at your page: hidden link It looks OK to me, but I don't know what to expect. Can you tell us what's wrong with that page? skarande-bearbetning.png

mattiasK-2	Ohhh, sorry Amir, I had to deactivate wpml since its a live site. Its generating a 404 as soon as i activate wpml. Disabeling wpml obviously fixes this. the "real" domain name is "www.härenviks.se" soo i imagine the problem is with the "non-english" character in the domain name.

Andrea Supporter	Hello Mattias, I'm Andrea, lead developer for WPML. We have a fix for this issue, which we are going to release in the next hours. Is it ok to wait until the fix is released? Otherwise, I can manually apply the patch on your site: if you chose this option, please make a full backup first, then share your access details in the private details box.
