How to enable Unicode in URL slug?

I have Searched a lot in Askbot source code to understand how Askbot deal with URL slugs.

Why unicode url? because my Askbot site using Arabic language and all user input in Arabic, only 20% in English.

I found the solution and I'll write it as answer. However, I really can't understand why this not enabled by default?

At least it should be placed as comment in settings.py and any one can enable it by uncomment the option.

A lot of Askbot power are not documented, this what I unlike in Askbot, each time I have to do something not documented in Askbot I have to read some source code, well not everyone understand Python/Django, and it's waste of time.
