So how would this extend to non-English names?
Would there be /fr, /pt_BR, /de, /zh_TW, etc, for each
language?  Does Freebase support arbitrary Unicode characters
in URL paths?

Would this be an actual structural change in the graph?
That is, would the /topic namespace actually be removed
or would low-level MQL exploration still show a /topic
namespace containing the individual language namespaces?
