URL Key Master by Magendev
By default Magento dose not support using unicode characters as URL key, for example you can not use Arabic or Cyrillic or Chinese characters as part of a product's URL because magento replaces every non-Latin character with some latin character in URL.as an example let's say you want your product url to be like:
http://magendev.com/العربیة/طبقة.html
so you create a sub category named 'طبقة' and you create your product and enter 'العربیة' as product URL Key, but while you save your category or product Magento automatically replaces 'طبقة' with something like "o-u-o-u-u-o" and 'العربیة' with something like "u-o-u-o-o-u-o" so your final URL for that product appears like:http://magendev.com/o-u-o-u-u-o/u-o-u-o-o-u-o.html
or some times in case of European languages Magento replaces some special characters with a character that is most similar to the original character (ø = o, æ = ae, å = a, ç = c, ü = u ...)
But the above url dose not have any meaning and is NOT Understandable for search engines like google or bing and results in lower page rank.
