Too many characters in title ? Chinese Font ?
-
On our site we have Chinese characters in the title's and after reviewing the campaign reports I noticed it was showing that the majority of these pages have a title which is too long. However, the Chinese character count is far less than the recommended number.
I think the crawling/reporting for this language might have a problem ?

I know Google handles the problem well. For example I have a forum site which supports other languages. There are threads with titles such as "Здравейте българи!". When I look at my canonicalization tag it converts to:http://www.terapvp.com/threads/Здравейте-българи.168/
The converted page title and URL appears to be too long and sets off warnings from Roger, the SEOmoz crawler. Google handles these results fine and the pages appear properly in SERPs. I think Roger needs an upgrade.

Could it be because it takes far less character to write the same sentence in Chineese than in English. "Blue Widgets" would be 蓝色部件. If you tried real hard, you could probably write a whole paragraph in the title. It might be a good idea to translate it to English and see how many characters it would be.
