Hi @AMINELid - Local Guides Connect is a global community, so you’re more than welcomed to write with whatever language you’re comfortable with. If you’re most comfortable with Arabic, that’s totally fine. Some people also write in English even though it’s not their native language to practice their English as well, and that’s okay too!

Others that aren’t speaking your language will be able to read what you write by using the translation feature.

Edit: I misunderstood the question. Please refer to Cecilia’s reply.

Hi @AMINELid !

As @iyudhi told you, Connect is a global platform and you are welcome to contribute in the language you prefer.

Regarding your contributions in Google Maps, it is better to contribute in your own language as the reviews will be shown mostly to people who lives in your country. But don’t worry, in case that someone from other country reads it, Google Maps will translate your review automatically.

@Cecilita Thanks for correction. For some reason I thought the question was about contributing in Connect.
