Not complicated ..it is that this forum ( hand rolled by Brett ) doesn't do "unicode languages"..( possibly because we are all supposed to be posting as much as is possible in English, so as to make all posts understandable by the maximum number of readers..

But when discussing unicode languages ..one is forced to use "example" words that "glitch" the forum..Most people here are not aware of it because those of us who use them are in the minority..never affects the others..

Your questions were interesting ..but the answers are not as clear cut as when discussing English..

So..


How does Google treat foreign language in its algorithms?

It appears IME that it treats each one differently..

How does Google treat Unicode Languages in its Algo?

It appears IME that it treats each one differently..

How does it treat Latin language compared to Unicode language? ie: Arabic Chinese

I have trouble with understanding your question..did you mean ..
**How does it treat Latin language compared to Unicode language? ie: Arabic / Chinese** ..

Are Algo updated such as Panda effect All languages at once or just Latin Languages or just english?


Algo updates even in the English language are rolled out at different times and in slightly different ways to different English speaking areas..the 1st Panda roll out was in the USA before the UK ..and both of them were before France ..and it was before Spain etc etc ..no one reported back when the 1st Panda rollout hit any unicode language countries probably because the forum is very USA centric..

How does Googlebot differentiate between those different languages?


Differentiate in what way ? ..you mean crawl frequency ? or crawl rate ? ..or depth ?..or ...

How come you do not hear about a Turkish, Arabic or Chinese Matt Cutts trying to tackle spam in their respective Language?


Maybe there are Turkish, Arabic or Chinese Matt Cuttsess <= ( what is the plural of Matt Cutts ? *** ) but we wouldn't hear about them ( if there were ) here due to the English language being the official forum language thing..

I do know that there is not an equivalent spokesperson for Google's spam team for the French language..I've never heard of there being any for Chinese or Arabic either..

How does Google treat a URL in its Algo that has content Both in English and another language?

IME ..inconsistently..

HTH :)

*** what would the collective noun be ? ..It can't be "cutlets"..<= that was taken a long time ago ;)..
