English keyword in url html into chinese

Hi, using standard english optmization, i usually create my landing page url with the keyword in the URL.
[url]www.example.com/keyword1[/url]
However I am optimising for a Chinese site and the URL is example.com followed by a series of numbers and % signs.

When i put that into google, a Chinese page from the site comes up (good), the url changes to example.com followed byChinese characters.

So my question is should i create my urls to be
www.example.com/keyword 1 in english characters
or
www.exampe.com/ in Chinese characters?

These are the opening 6 lines of the page;


<html lang="en-US" class="loading-site no-js"> 
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8" />

thanks,Arturo

I should say the site is for Chinese speakers in the UK who search in google using chinese characters

If it produces a result in Chinese language that is a good thing for people who want to see the Chinese language version. It would give them a better incentive to click on results in Chinese if that's what they are looking for.

But what i need to know is when i create a new page in worpress, should i add the title/path in english or Chinese keyword?

Whatever it takes to have it show up in their preferred language, so if encoding it www.example.com/ in Chinese characters gives you that result, that is what I would do.

Does G### even care what the URL is? It's generally safer to stick with ASCII. More important is the <title>, which should probably be in both languages. There is a recent thread on this subject; not2easy will know where to find it ;)

Follow-up:
This [webmasterworld.com] is the post I was thinking about. It was a little longer ago than I thought :(

Some WordPress translation plugins allow you to change the URL keyword. The default language uses the normal url path while the translated language uses the same path but on a different subdomain or there is a folder added for the language code like for French: example.com/fr/keyword
