Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Howdy. Yes, it can strengthen and yes, google will notice. At least eventually. Now, it's not clear which link you are talking about - inbound or outbound. But anyway, the answer is the same, just the "amount" of benefits will be different. Hope this helps

Hi! I agree with Chris. As long as Google is able to tell that the links should be pointing to your website, and aren't some sort of spammy link scheme, then having links from websites in other languages is fine! Just make sure that the websites you are getting these links from are relevant and have a high domain authority so they will pass on the link juice to your website.
