Any update to this one @Helga Kirsanova? I think this would be really really great (ideally if u can get reviews in local language - otherwise english would be ok). Please make this!!

[Helga]

Hello everybody,

Thank you for your interest in our widget and in this feature!

As much as I’d love to bring good news for you, I’m afraid I have to say that this feature is not included in the nearest ideas to release list yet.

Unfortunately, due to the extremely crowded schedule and a pile of crucial changes to implement, our dev team has to pick several features to include in the updates, and most often these are the most wanted requests.

However, we assure you that this feature will not be forgotten, the only thing is that we will need more time to add it to the widget

I wish I had better news to share, however, I’m convinced we should be honest with you.

Again, we’re so sorry that we have to slow down the process.

[Helga]

However, we have another idea regarding this functionality and we’d really love to hear your thoughts.

What if we added the filter by language so that you could create a separate widget for a particular language?

Please let me know what you think

@Helga, imo filtering on review language is the best solution. I even suggested that already, see my comments on.

Thanks a lot @helga - great idea but I believe this will reduce the number of reviews drastically - eg at our company we are just about to launch in Germany and Netherlands - for these markets we have no reviews in local language so there will be none shown if you filter by language. I know that google translate reviews automatically to English (from local language) - can we try to use this instead? I guess its a better option to show as many reviews as possible despite being in English (if there are too few on local language) - ideally one would want non local reviews to be translated into english and the local ones to stay in local language. In this case you will show the most reviews as possible! Hope this was clear and again big thanks!

[Helga]

Hello folks,

Thanks a lot for your comments!

I’ve passed all the info along to our dev team and I do believe it will help them come up with a solution for this request.

However, even if we start with filters, I’m afraid we still will need time to start working on this due to a very tight schedule. It’s definitely doesn’t mean that this request will be buried and we do keep it in mind for future updates for this widget.

Again, a huge thank you for your understanding!

@Anton you’re welcome to do so in this thread: Get translated versions (by Google) for Google Review Widget please!

Thank you!

I see that you’re advertising the translate widget on your marketing site now, and this thread is a year and a half old. Do you have a release date for the feature?

[Helga]

@user876 it’s true that the Website Translator app is presented in our Coming Soon section, and I’m truly sorry that we have yet to develop it.

Unfortunately, we had to put new apps development on pause for some reasons, but we do have intention to get back to this as soon as we can.

At the moment we’re working on the brand-new Dashboard, and this is quite a tall order, requiring a lot of time and effort.

I do understand your frustration, and I assure you that we’re making every endeavour to revive our Coming Soon project.

By the way, feel free to vote for this feature to make it stand out in the list!

Definitely this would be a very important feature to give a leap of quality to your widget with respect to other similar widgets of your competitors.

I have installed it on my website and it shows reviews in all languages (we sell all over Europe).

It would be very interesting if the reviews were automatically translated into the language of the page as Google already does on their sites:

I see that this request is open practically 2 years ago (since June 2021). I think that is enough time to develop it, so I am pessimistic that it will be implemented.

I am currently in the 7 days trial period and if you confirm me that this functionality will be developed soon it would convince me to continue paying for your software.

Hi @Guillem! Welcome to Community

Thanks a million for such a detailed comment

I totally understand that this functionality would be a great addition to our product. Unfortunately, we can’t name the exact release dates. However, I can confirm that we do have plans to consider this feature in the near future.

We’ll keep you in the loop here

[Anton]

Hello Elfsight. Do we have any update on this one? What is happening?

[Helga]

Hi Anton! Much as I’d love to update you on the progress, I’m afraid I don’t have any news as of now, I’m very sorry

I’ll make sure to post here in case of any change

[Ambient_TV]

Same!
