My discourse default language is set to Japanese.  
And some of the default Group names have converted to Japanese, the group url (Slug) are in Japanese too.

For example, The staff group url is `/g/スタッフ`  
Staff activity page’s url is `/g/スタッフ/activity/posts`

And all the groups with non-English name cannot visit the Group Message page. `/g/スタッフ/messages`  
When try to access those pages, Server Error 500 message appear.

I have tried finding those text in customize text page, but I don’t think I can customize it.

It seem to be some kind of bugs, because when I change the language back to English and refresh the page, those Non-English Groups name are still remain in Japanese.

I have two Question:

1. Is it possible to fix the Group Message Error for those non-English group?

2. I think Discourse is not allow non-English Group name. So how could I change back those name back to English ?

PS: I have updated to latest version and rebuild the app but the problem remain.

If you update your locale to English then the group name will be auto-updated to “staff” in 12 hours via [`EnsureDbConsistency`](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/bdbee36961a88c1b6b44ade60f7a637fb655f5ac/app/jobs/scheduled/ensure_db_consistency.rb) scheduled job.

Looks like the `group_name` parameter is not URL-encoded. What browser are you using.

I am unable to repro this on latest Chrome version.

I am still not able to repro this issue. For me the browser is percent URL encoding the link like so:

```plaintext
http://localhost:9292/topics/private-messages-group/arpit/%E3%82%B9%E3%82%BF%E3%83%83%E3%83%95.json

```

… and that results in proper response from server.

What’s your browser and OS default locale? Is it English or Japanese?

I’m wondering why the percent URL encoding is not happening for you in browser.

My Wins 10 have both Japanese and Chinese language pack installed.  
Currently, the Windows is set to Chinese as default.  
My Chrome is in Japanese but Firefox is in English. 😅

* * *

After multiple testing, I have found out some strange behavior of the group names.

For example, in Customize → Text, I set  
`groups.default_names.trust_level_0` = `トラストレベル0`  
The url will be `/g/%E3%83%88%E3%83%A9%E3%82%B9%E3%83%88%E3%83%AC%E3%83%99%E3%83%AB4/messages`, and I get 500 Internal Server Error.

* * *

If I change the `groups.default_names.trust_level_0` = `trust_level_0` and wait 1 day, The url will change back to `/g/trust_level_0/messages/` and I can access the page without problem.

* * *

If I change to some other word, such as `groups.default_names.trust_level_0` = `Level 0` and wait 1 day, The url will remain unchanged. If the url was in Japanese it will remain in Japanese. If the url was in English, it will remain in English.

* * *

At the moment, I think I will just set all the groups names back to English name and it should fix the problem. The Groups name must have to be identical to the default English name, otherwise the url won’t change back to English.  
For example, a few days ago I set `groups.default_names.admins` to `Admin’, because I forgot to type the “s” after Admin, after few days now, the url is still remains in Japanese.

It happens to me when I disable `unicode usernames` after I set the unicode name for a group.

Thanks a lot! My problem is now gone after enabling unicode usernames.
