Joomla Redirect Manager does not work?

Question

I just found the Joomla Redirect Manager. Tried to redirect this URL

http://www.eldvigateli.com/електродвигатели-елин/новини-електродвигатели/334-смяна-лагери

to this:

http://www.eldvigateli.com/услуги/механични-ремонти/смяна-лагери

But nothing happened.

I tried also with any other URL, but nothing is working.

Any possible reasons/solutions?

There is a common misunderstanding about the Joomla Redirect Manager is that it redirects one link to another. In fact, the Redirect Manager redirects a 404 link to another, valid link.
