: How can I create a 301 redirect with non-English characters in the URL? I would like to do 301 redirect from http://www.test.de/kollektion/b%C3%BCgel%20bh to http://www.test.de/bhs/bugel-bhs+balconette.

To get this to work you will need to use the correct characters rather then the URL encoded characters.

Try adding the following in apache configuration file (apache2.conf/httpd.conf/apache.conf dependent on your distro)

AddDefaultCharset UTF-8


After restart apache using:

sudo service httpd restart


or

sudo service apache2 restart


Then in your htaccess file try the following:

Options +FollowSymLinks
Redirect 301 www.test.de/kollektion/bügel[s]bh www.test.de/bhs/bugel-bhs+balconette
