Title: Re: Arabic Lanaguage support

The parameters are translated to html entities because these arabic signs can't be represented as is in an url.
When you retrieve the parameters you must take this into account and translate the entities back to the actual arabic signs.

Have you considered using POST instead of GET? Of course if it doesn't come from a form you can't do this.
