Infinite 301 redirects after definitions in “Redirections” plugin?

Finally got it!!

The right way to define a redirection when the content of the URL (either the original or the new one) is in Hebrew, is simply define then URL-encoded.

For example:

/%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%A1%D7%9A-%D7%9C%D7%9E%D7%A9%D7%90%D7%99%D7%95%D7%AA.html

->

/%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%A1%D7%9A-%D7%9C%D7%9E%D7%A9%D7%90%D7%99%D7%95%D7%AA/

That’s it! This works like a charm and like it should.

For encoding and decoding URL special characters (like Hebrew), you can use this simple, yet very helpful online tool:
