How to Contribute to Google

Google Maps tips & tricks
1

I wish someone could give me some brilliant ideas to contribute to this community.

I have something in mind like going out to get most needed info around me but not sure what is most needed.

I also wanted to provide and edit some of the translations from English to Xhosa which are mostly misleading, can someone advise how to do this?
