Starting Wednesday, a new Google Maps translation feature using tech from the company’s own Translate app will begin rolling out. You’ll notice a new speaker button next to the place name or address of interest on the Google Maps app. Simply tap it and the app will speak the location out loud. Google Maps does this by automatically detecting if the language you normally use in the app isn’t the same as the place you’re visiting.
