 when Arabic slugs are being saved, they get saved in the DB in lowercase
 which is not according to w3 standards
 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10828833/utf-8-urls-must-be-uppercase-
 or-lowercase

 this breaks the site as the browser sends buddypress request for the URLs
 in uppercase which causes 404 pages

 for example
 http://www.gametako.com/%D9%85%D8%AC%D9%85%D9%88%D8%B9%D8%A7%D8%AA-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%B7%D9%88%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%86/%D9%85%D8%B7%D9%88%D8%B1%D9
 %8A-unity-%D9%8A%D9%88%D9%86%D9%8A%D8%AA%D9%8A/

 is not the same as

 http://www.gametako.com/%d9%85%d8%ac%d9%85%d9%88%d8%b9%d8%a7%d8%aa-%d8%a7%d9%84%d9%85%d8%b7%d9%88%d8%b1%d9%8a%d9%86

 any quick fixes before a full patch is made?
