Possible duplicate question. Please use this answer. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16855883/friendlyid-korean-slugs – Benjamin Apr 25 '14 at 14:29

@Benjamin This is NOT a duplicate question. Actually, It is a totally different matter. The question you references answers the issue of mapping Korean url to its english equivalent. Where as, in this question the user is trying to maintain proper representation of arabic characters in the url. – moeabdol Jun 12 '15 at 00:32

You can override normalize_friendly_id.
It generates slug directly from article.title.
class Article < ActiveRecord:Base
extend FriendlyId
friendly_id :title, use: :slugged
def normalize_friendly_id(string)
string
end
However, make sure to handle characters manually.
(ex. replace special characters to be url-safe : Safe characters for friendly url)
