rules's aliases creating is not multilingual - doesnt support non ascii chars

I setup a views that shows thumbs images of a node, it gets the node id from the URL so that www.mysite.com/viewthumbs/ is the the url.

I would like the system to be able to translate from www.mysite.com/viewthumbs/ to be www.mysite.com/viewthumbs/ and vice versa.

I tried setting up a rules that will create such an alias, however, since the titles are in Hebrew it will remove the Hebrew chars completely, if i leave empty that 'Replace non ascii characters with' field the spaces in the title are not replaced by hyphens which creates broken links

why not use the pathauto's engine to create the aliases?
