Warning sprintf() function.sprintf too few argumen

Question

I have a WordPress script but the menu disappears when the url includes non-latin characters. Example: www.site.com/بحث

I Get:

warning sprintf() function.sprintf too few arguments in nav-menu-template.php

At this line:

$nav_menu .= sprintf( $args->items_wrap, esc_attr( $wrap_id ), esc_attr( $wrap_class ), $items );

Sometimes its a problem if you have arabian characters in your url.

This is a cool post what happen when you have such a URL.

But normally this error means, that you have more placeholders as strings to replace. I think when you have such characters in your URL its transformed to UTF-8 URL encoding.

%D9%86 = ن

Then you have something like this and when you put that directly to your sprintf you have some new placeholders and such errors.

Try rawurldecode to change that characters back.
