Very important for Touristic websites. An hotel in Florence or in Venice (Italy) or in Paris (France) must have several description in several language.

Google tracks queries and responses pretty closely. I have seen 10 Packs disappear where they once were. The patents talk of user logs being used so I assume that when there aren’t sufficient queries nor sufficient click thrus Google will modify the results that they show.

Yes I assume so

“all yield the word panaderia”

I’ve seen Spanish results for ‘panaderia san rafael ca’ and they are being categorized under the English categories ‘bakery’ and ‘bakers’. The 10 pack results all yield the world panaderia in the business title. Mike, does this mean to you that they are simply being pulled because of their business title and not because they are in a foreign language category? I find that a bit confusing.

Just so I understand, are you saying that Google will return a local result
after X number of searches for a certain term.

I had understood that if the search term matched what was in their local
database it would give that result.

Your insight make me question what I know. Which is a great!

I assume that google returns alternative language results when there are a significant number of searches.

That is great information as I know of a couple business’s who could benefit from having a listing in Spanish. Does Google display local results
for foreign languages in the USA?

I did a search for “used cars Chicago IL” and got a 10 pack
did a search for “coches usados chicago IL” and did not get a local result?

Maybe nobody has a listing in Spanish for used cars but unlikely. Have you seen a foreign language listing in the USA?
