Multi-Language Import

Hello Marc @mcian,

Thanks for getting in touch again.

With the poll all languages, do you mean the Shortcode parameter:

[reviews_rating language="de"]

If so, just remove this parameter or set it to:

[reviews_rating language=null]

If you want to retrieve all languages without a preference, I am not sure this is possible because Google will always try to assign a language whether one is set or not. Please read the Places API Documentation.

If you feel that this could be explored more as an intentional empty language, please do get in touch and I’ll look into this more.

@mcian I’ve just checked further into the documentation and found something relevant:

A JSON array of up to five reviews. If a language parameter was specified in the request, the service will bias the results to prefer reviews written in that language.

This means that having no language set may be advantageous when collecting an unbiased selection of reviews irrespective of the review’s language. I will add this functionality in a future release.

@designextreme

Awesome, so setting no preferred language is the way to go, done, works. Thanks for checking out as well!

Best
Marc

@mcian I’ve clarified the unset value for Languages in the version 3.45. There’s also an addition to handle the retrieval fields (this will be helpful if other place data is affected because of the missing language preference).
