Google Maps has announced today a new and very important function that any user can enjoy right now, and that you will probably use on your vacations. More precisely, Google Maps has implemented a new function that allows users to listen to the names of the locations visited in the local language of the country they are in, so that if they talk to someone about them, they can pronounce them correctly.
Google Maps has launched this new function for phones with iOS and Android operating systems, and the dedicated applications will have a special button available that will allow you to pronounce the names in their correct form. You can see in the animated image below what this functionality looks like, in the Google Maps application a special button will be integrated when we select a name, allowing to hear the name spoken correctly.
Google Maps has a GREAT New Feature for ALL of your Trips
Google Maps has implemented this function to help those traveling in countries whose language they do not know, the application being able to help them discover the desired points of interest much faster. Of course, Google Maps will also have a special link for Google Translate, so that people can ask other questions to locals about that point of interest, or others they would like to reach.
Google Maps offers this functionality through the Google Translate system that Google offers for free all over the world, it being used monthly by hundreds of millions of people. Google Maps will offer you the opportunity to listen to the pronunciation of the names of the locations in 50 languages of international circulation around the globe, and their number will increase in the not too distant future.
Google Maps will have this feature extended in November to iOS and Android phones around the world, so if you don't see it yet, then you'll have to wait until it's available.
