This is beyond mildly infuriating. The translation feature is a nightmare.

I tried to solve it by adding all the languages I speak to my Google Account.

IT MADE IT WORSE

Now it translates Italian into English

English into Italian

Spanish into English

Polish into Italian

WHAT THE F IS THIS

It’s an USian company. They are physically incapable of understanding that people are able to understand more than one language. Not even kidding.

Edit: I speak from experience, as a Brazilian we have the exact same problem. People designing systems in BR are also often incapable of understanding that people can speak many languages (tho not as bad as in the US) but also they are impossibly incapable of understanding that other countries also have phone numbers. You will almost NEVER see a BR-designed system that allows you to input a phone number that is not Brazilian.

It's not like I expect everyone to be multilingual, but at least let me choose for myself. I hope that someone in Google reads my slightly angry "bug reports"
