Problem: The client is concerned about the URL encoding for Russian language links on their website, which appear with encoded characters instead of Cyrillic characters. They are worried this might negatively impact their SEO. Solution: We explained that the behavior observed is not an issue and is not related to WPML. URL encoding is a standard way for browsers to handle links containing non-ASCII characters, ensuring that search engines can read the URLs correctly. When hovering over the link with the mouse pointer, the browser will display the correct URL at the bottom. Therefore, there is no need for concern as this is the correct and expected behavior for URLs.
