Dear Local Guides,

February is the month of Mother Language day and 21st February is celebrated as International Mother Language Day. We always respect our mother tongue and local languages. Many times we see the auto translated names are written wrong in Google Maps. So, on this month of mother language with a target to correct the wrongly translated names on Google Maps to correct local names this meet up will be held.

Target-

  • Correct the wrongly translated names on Google maps to correct local language names

Picture - Like in the Picture above, a Government office name for national ID Card is auto translated wrong in Bengali language. So we will rectify the same as shown

Date- 21st February, 2026

Location- Birati, Kolkata

Time- 3 p.m.-6 p.m. (IST)

This meetup is for all the Local Guides. Anyone do the same from anywhere of the world.

@PritishB Bro, Spam-free Local Maps Campaign is a different initiative. You should declare it with your meetup details that you will join, and clear your meetup activities then. It will be better to host a separate one.

Noted dada. Will plan accordingly very soon :handshake: . Till then stay safe and happy.

Wow, what a fantastic and meaningful initiative for International Mother Language Day, @PritishB! :+1:
Correcting those auto-translations is so important for making Maps truly useful for local communities. I always keep an eye out for these and focus on correcting them in my own locality, so I will be joining the effort from here! :slight_smile:
All the best for a successful meet-up! :bouquet:
