Arabic permalink not found

by

I am working on Arabic wordpress website and I have a problem when using arabic title for the post. the single post page always redirect to 404 page but with english permalinks it work perfectly

when I tried to use the_permalink(); it returns:

http://a3lamy.com/%d8%aa%d8%ac%d8%b1%d8%a8%d8%a9/

while in wordpress admin dashboard when edit post the permalink looks like:

http://a3lamy.com/تجربة/

the datebase server collation is utf8_general_ci

when I open the wp-posts table I found the post-name is :

%d8%aa%d8%ac%d8%b1%d8%a8%d8%a9

and when I change it manually it become تجربة in the database but still the permalink redirects to 404 not found page!

My web.config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="WordPress Rule" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" negate="true" />
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsDirectory" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>

Any help will be appreciated.

This issues is caused due to IIS does not recognize the multi language urls,

You need to add the following code at the end of the wp-config.php file:

if ( isset($_SERVER['UNENCODED_URL']) ) {
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER['UNENCODED_URL'];}
