Does anyone have experience with non-Latin characters in URL's?

We've launched a website in Thailand and picked Thai characters for URL's.

However, when you copy it, it turns into something like this:

http://www.imoneythailand.com/บัตรเครดิต

Can it impact our website's crawlability?

Also, is keyword in URL a ranking factor for non-Latin languages?

Thanks in advance for help!

Thanks, guys!

Your responses were really helpful. It was a bug on our Drupal, sending wrong redirect codes.

SEO Moz tool reports missing title tags on all the links that have been redirected. E.g. this page: http://www.imoney.my/ms/personal-loan

When I check the response code on the page with redirect checker it shows code 200 (page exists).

Has it happened to anyone else? How can a redirected page send a 200 code?

Thanks for your tips, Tom!

Really useful piece of advice.

We will definitely look into creating a customer reviews box and turning it into a rich snippet.

By any chance do you have experience with product markups?

There's an option there to add a product image. If we do it, will it appear in SERPS?

Does anyone have experience of using rich snippets for non-physical products?

Our website offers credit cards comparison service. Do you think that tagging each card's page with rich snippets such as credit card image, name, description and category makes sense?

The idea is to make it stand out in the search results.

Thanks for your suggestions, Tom!

I suspected Google might not like it, but didn't think it was that serious.

To what extent do you think we should rewrite our original articles? Is tweaking couple paragraphs enough, or should it be a complete 100% rewrite?

Hi there!

Our blog is full of really good articles on consumer finance topics. Recently we established contact with some local media and even government agencies who said they will be happy to repost our articles on their sites.

Question: is it ok to repost our articles as they are and link back to us, or shall we rewrite them to make them 100% original?

The media doesn't insist on original content, but I'd like to get SEO benefit from it (the sites are really good). If original content gives us more SEO value, we're happy to do it

Please advise.

P.S. Using rel=canonicals is not an option (it's government websites and some old school media - they are very not tech savvy).
