: How do I redirect an English language URL to an Arabic language URL? I have a link that's currently formatted like this: http://example.com/news/view/1.html I want to it redirect it to: http://example.com/خبر/عنوان-ا

@Debbie626

I don't know if you have to edit the PHP source, I suppose not.

I'd try do that with mod_rewrite:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^news/view/1.html$ /خبر/عنوان-الخبر [R=301,L]

If it's a one off you just make sure your terminal is in UTF-8 mode, then paste the Arabic into a RedirectMatch as normal.

RedirectMatch permanent ^/news/view/1.html /خبر/عنوان-الخبر


If you wanted it dynamic (i.e. some database which lets you know the title of 1.html) then yes, that would need some PHP.

But if you are saying that 1.html is actually the correct URL, and you just want to change the text that appears in the browser address bar, I don't think that can be done
