inverse Unicode Aliases problem in Joomla URLs

Post by wizarddesign » Sun Jan 17, 2016 6:27 pm

Hello.
There is a problem in Joomla's Unicode Aliases which I had from joomla 2.5 when I first built a multilingual website and still is the same in Joomla 3.4.
The problem is that when I use a unicode URL like in Persian language or Arabic the arrangement or ordering of the categories and subcategories or (Menu or Submenu and article alias) is inverse.

for example in non unicode like English URLs we might have:

http://example.com/menu1/submenu1/article1

However in unicode aliases like Persian language URL, it is vise versa, like:

http://example.com/article1/submenu1/menu1.

This might not be a big problem. However, I know many users see urls to know where they are and this issue will trouble them. For you don't know which one is start and which's end. Also many enjoy clean URLS.

I would appreciate for any good suggestions. I would like to fix this issue in all my Joomla websites.

Interesting issue. I guess it is not related to the site being multilingual or not, just the language being rtl and SEF on.
Let me test that and come back to you

I confirm the issue when all aliases are rtl.
As it is a SEF url, all works fine, but indeed the display "could" confuse users.
Please create a new Issue on http://issues.joomla.org

I believe it's an issue related to the browser. If you'll use chrome in Rtl language where the address line is in the form of Rtl the link should look as it supposed to be.
