Imagine for a moment that you are in a foreign country and have had difficulty giving guidance to the taxi driver who can understand him. If this is a familiar problem, Google Maps is now ready and ready to help.

Starting Wednesday, a new Google Maps translation feature will be launched, using a technology from Google translate developed by Google. Users will notice a new speaker button next to the place name or address of interest on Google Maps.

The user simply clicks this button and the app will speak aloud the name of that site. Google Maps does this when the app automatically detects that the language you normally use in the app isn't the same as where you visit.

Google Maps automatically detects that you are in a country other than the language of the application and suggests helping you to translate directions and places

The new translation feature for all Google Maps users on Android and iOS will come this month.

In the first phase, the application will support 50 languages, but eventually more languages ​​will be supported. This is the first batch of languages ​​to be translated:

Albanian, Arabic, Bengali, Bosnian, Cantonese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Filipino, Finnish, Flemish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Javanese, Khmer, Korean, Kurdish, Latin, Mandarin, Nepali, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Sinhala, Slovak, Spanish, South Sudanese, Swahili, Swedish, Tamil, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Welsh.

For conversations deeper than just directions and location names, Google Maps will now connect you directly to Google Translate.
