Google can read japanese or only alphabet ?

Hi

Actually im running a web shop in several languages: english, french, spanish, italian, russian, german, japanese, korean and japanese ! lol

Im trying to optimize my web site for SEO so i changed URL rewriting rules for example

French example:                                                                                                                          From: http://www.test.com/je-suis-francais.html -> http://www.test.com/Je-suis-fran**ç**ais.html

Japanese example: (i use UTF8 encoding)                                                                           From: http://www.test.com/watashiwa-nihonnjin-desu.html -> http://www.test.com/私は日本人です.html

So i get something like wikipedia (url with accents, ideogramms in several languages)

Do you think wikipedia and me are doing wrong ?

Google can read both so you're ok. There's always a risk in trying something new, but there's also a reward to being among the first to do something.  Since you're in the company of Wikipedia and Google translate works rather fluidly you should be fine.
