Google wants to be your holiday tour guide

Getting dropped into a new city is disorienting, and all the more so when you need to ask for help but don’t know how to pronounce the name of the place you’re trying to get to. Google Maps now has a fix for this.
When you’ve got a place name up in Maps, just press the new little speaker button next to it, and it will speak out a place's name and address in the local lingo. And if you want to continue the conversation, Google Maps will quickly link you to the Google Translate app.
New cities are full of new buildings, new foods and even new foliage. But you don’t want to just see these things; you want to learn more about them. That’s where Google Lens comes in as a know-it-all tour guide and interpreter. It can translate a menu, tell you about the landmark you're standing in front of or identify a tree you’ve never seen before. So whenever you think, “I wonder what that building is for,” you can just use your camera to get an answer in real time.
