In English we would say "this will set the cat amongst the pigeons", but in this case it may be more appropriate to say "this will set the tiger amongst the foxes." It certainly is a smart move on the part of Google to get a foot in the door economically, far easier to woo the approval of the powers that be if you are investing substantially in the country's online industry. I wonder though whether this will be a silent partner type investment or whether Google will take a more active role.

As to names, yes, one does have to be careful to avoid something like "You Beaut Wish You Were Here Search Company", but a skillfull translator will come up with something both phonically correct and inspiring as kent suggests. One awaits with cheese on tongue.
