The feature is now available in the search toolbelt and it's much smarter: Google automatically detects the most appropriate languages for your query. Click on "show options", select "translated search" and Google shows a box that lists some languages, the translations of your query and the top search results for those translated queries.
For example, if you search for [oslo museums], Google shows a list of web pages written in Norwegian. When you search for [romantic art], Google suggests more than one language: Spanish, French, Italian and German.

"If you're traveling and want to find hotels, restaurants, activities or reviews written from a local perspective, or if you're just curious to find what's being written about a company, product or topic in another language, give Translated search in the Search Options panel a try," suggests Google.
That's nothing new. I have been using it for 2 years. It used to be called Search Across Languages.
ReplyDeleteIt does have new features compared to the previous offering - the tool can now search multiple languages at one time, and also can automatically select which languages to search in. The old version required you to choose a single language you wanted to search in.
