Google has introduced a small but noteworthy update to its handling of local reviews. From now on, Google will automatically translate local reviews into your native language.
This means that if you are in a foreign country looking for a place to eat, for instance, the reviews you find will be displayed in the language that you have set on your device.
According to Google, this automatic translation feature will be available when conducting a search in the Google Maps or Search app. However, it appears that this change will not extend to mobile browser searches or desktop searches.
When you read reviews, the translated version will be shown first, followed by the original version for reference.
To start seeing translated reviews just like the example above, ensure that your Google Maps and Search apps are updated to the latest versions.
