How to get Google reviews in multiple languages

Dimitri Lekien 2 years ago updated 2 years ago 7

Hello,

If a user post a Google Business Review in a specific language, they are translated by google and it is possible to download them in other languages.

I'm wondering how to create Google Funnels by language ?

I use WPML and I'd like to download same reviews in all my languages defined in WPML, to be able to create a template by language. If I have 10 reviews and 3 languages, 30 reviews would be downloaded (10 by language)

Under review

Sorry the plugin can't translate the review text for you. There is a tool to assign the language codes to reviews under the Tools tab. Once you get the language codes on there you can filter by language and even use wpml under the filter tab of the review template.

After you run it language codes should show on the Review List...

Then on the review template filter tab if you have WPML install you will get this checkbox...

Hello,

No, I don't ask the plugin to translate. I ask the plugin to get translated reviews from google.

As you can see on the screenshot below, those reviews exists and some has been downloaded by your plugin when I add the language in the field (see second screenshot).

I'd like to be able to specify languages in funnels to get all my reviews in 3 languages I need on my website.

Unfortunately, I can not find a language field in the funnels configurations.

Regards,

Dimitri

Sorry, the plugin can not return translated reviews from Google. It can only return the review in the original language.

Did you see my screenshots ?

On the first one you can see that it is possible.

Your plugin did it for a few reviews.

Before buying your plugin, I have used another plugin who was able to download them in each WPML language. See screenshots. Believe me, all these translated reviews come directly from google.

If your plugin & other plugins are able to do it, I'm sure it is technically possible.
I don't understand why you say it is not possible.

Your plugin is far the best I found. I'm sure you could make it a bit more powerful for multilingual websites.

Just to verify, we are talking about Google reviews correct?


If you use the Get Reviews > Google Places API method then there is a language code option at the bottom. However, this method is limited to your most helpful 5 reviews from Google.

I don't have any control over the Review Funnels. They are using a 3rd party API to return the reviews. Currently they only return the original language that the review was written in.

Yes, correct, it concern Google Reviews.

I saw and I tried the language code field.

I got reviews multiple times changing the value of that field and Google returned a few reviews in each language but not all of them. I guess that in 30 days, it will return some more reviews.

Maybe you could ask the question to your third party partner if a language implementation would be possible ?
