Why does Moz see short Russian & Chinese urls as too long
-
We are translating content into Russian and Chinese on our website, the number of errors are increasing mainly around URL too long, each time we create a page with a Chinese or Russian url.
If you click on the link below for a Chinese content page:
You will notice the url displayed by the browser is actually not very long, is there a way for MOZ not to see it as it appears above?
Below is a page in Russian
Any help will be much appreciated.

Basically I don't think Moz records enriched URL names, because their database and / or CSV output is incapable of storing rich characters (e.g: in UTF-8 you have Latin and Greek characters, but with super basic txt sub-formats like ANSI you do not). As such Moz is forced to 'convert' the URLs to utilise URL encoding: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_urlencode.asp - whereby a combination of 'allowed' symbols creates the special characters in your browser window (once a link is visited)
In reality it would be better if Moz would just update their tools to support special characters as they see a lot of common usage in URL strings these days, particularly in Western / Eastern Europe (and beyond)
Unless Moz were to update their tool I think you'd just have to 'manually ignore' those errors or recalculate the 'real' values yourself in a spreadsheet

Anybody know how to merge an old inactive Moz account with a current live Moz account?
I had an old Moz account with my name, profile, etc. that I don't want to lose. By accident, when I created my current subscription, I ended up creating a brand new account. The old account has my bio, Moz points, etc. that I don't want to lose, but the new account has my campaigns. Any way to bring the two accounts together?
