    I wanted to know if W3 total cache is compatible with URLs including foreign language characters (ie. Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew, Arabic, etc.)?

    Thanks.

    It should be, since it's just caching your files and not modifying the content.

    But it create folders that matches the URLs, so which characters will be used?

    Whatever you used in the URL.

    Per http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp "URLs can only be sent over the Internet using the ASCII character-set."

    So regardless, you should be using ASCII characters, which most servers can create as folder names.

    You should be okay. You can test by manually creating folders/files with those titles on your server :) If that works, there you are.
