The sentence does not make sense. The world "participating" is what is confusing me, and a correction would really depend on what the writer is trying to say. If you just add an "in" ("...recommend participating in Japanese...), then it becomes a proper sentence, but that still might not be what the writer is trying to get across. Maybe if you posted the sentence before and after this one, an informed correction could be made.

What are you trying to say that the government would recommend places for people to eat as long as they meet standards? How do you mean oversea's who's government are you talking about?
