It will work with Chinese forums. However you will only get ASCII a-z and 0-9 characters included within page names. Non ASCII characters in URL's can course problems with some systems. For example if the Chinese is included in the new file name then only systems with new browsers and Chinese installed on the computer will be able to view your forum.

If your forum is in Chinese you will have the URL's rewritten as:-

http://forums.webwiz.net/topic2714.html

Rather than it including the topic subject in the URL:-

http://forums.webwiz.net/url-rewriting-does-not-support-chinese_topic2714.html

You also need to have IASPI_Rewrite 3 Full installed on the server (this is the paid version, not teh free) in order for the URL rewriting to work. ISAPI_Rewrite 3 is available from the page below:-

Thank you Bruce rapid reflection
If this is the case, then there will be more than one path may be accessed Posts, search engines will think he is duplicate content???
and As far as I know IASPI_Rewrite 3 only one configuration file, then he supported a number of wwf forum at the same time the use of url rewriting?
