This is an implementation detail. Every gateway is free to translate the name as it want. If you want to know the jid of a contact based on the legacy address, you should use the jabber:iq:gateway protocol as explained there: http://www.xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0100.html#addressing Anyway, I don't know how to do the opposite (eg: get the addresse from the jid) -- Olivier (aka Gof) PS: i know this doesn't reply to the question : "where do the % come from"
