Friendly URLs for MultiLingual Site

[theLotter]

Hi,

We have a multilingual website with both latin and non-latin characters,

We are working on creating a friendly URL structure for the site.

For the Latin languages can we use translated version of the URLs within the language folders?

For example -

www.site/cars

www.site/fr/voitures

www.site/es/autos

The problem with that is maintaining and scaling this structure, now and in the future.

From Google Side, its ok to use any of the versions, as if you do a search "Voitures à vendre a paris" you see sometimes that the word "cars" and even "autos" is highlighted in the url. So Google is doing a pretty good job detecting translated versions or even transliterated version.

Cheers
