URL with URL-encoded characters like %23 gets decoded when changing locale

@BobbieGoede my mistake, for reason a question mark was appended in the route name. Fixed and not a module issue.

It's been a while back since I dived into debugging and figuring out a solution for #2698 but from what I remember the core cause of your issue is the same, I should probably update the issue description.

The module internally uses $router.resolve to retrieve the localized route based on the passed argument. In some cases the resolve function is used more than once with a previous resolved result, unfortunately doing so loses information:

const router = useRouter()
const arg = '/en/blog/my-blog-post%23number1-someid'
const resolved1 = router.resolve(arg)
const resolved2 = router.resolve(resolved1)

console.table({ arg, resolved1: resolved1.fullPath, resolved2: resolved2.fullPath })

Would result in this

key	value
arg	/en/blog/my-blog-post%23number1-someid
resolved1	/en/blog/my-blog-post%23number1-someid
resolved2	/en/blog/my-blog-post#number1-someid

I have some working concepts that deal with this issue from a while ago but they involve some larger changes to the routing logic, it will take time to test and see which solution makes most sense. So unfortunately I won't have a solution in the short term! Will let you know if I find any workarounds to use instead.

Kind a same issue here, where the output of localePath now containers %3F at the end.

@memic84
What are you passing to localePath?
