To answer your other question:

Freebase does not currently support arbitrary Unicode characters in URL paths; they have to be hex-escaped.  So for instance:

<URL: http://www.freebase.com/view/en/gabriel_garcia_marquez >

but (not currently, but possibly):

<URL: http://www.freebase.com/view/es/gabriel_garc$00EDa_m$00E1rquez >
