Hi @SarathKumar,

 

We need to discuss the question in different cases:

 

1.  For POIs that LGs can edit

- Switch Maps to the Langauge you want to use

- Do a "suggest an edit", then correct the Name in the correct language field.  Please see my post To enter Place Name in Multiple Languages if needed.

 

2.  For Roads

- Use "Send Feedback", "Edit the map", click on the Road Segment, "Next", then enter the Road name.  Please remember to add a note to tell on which Language you are correcting the Name for.

 

3.  For Other Places with no Edit options or no Specific Report routes

- Use "Send Feedback", "Send App Feedback" in Mobile, or "Other feedback" in Desktop.

You can suggest an edit that is not editable to Google by submitting "other feedback."

There you can describe the issue. The lenghts of periods of time until solved vary largely.

Tamil translations on Googlemap is disgusting. Also we can't correct them by sending feedbacks.

Hi @BloggerNanban

 

I understand your frustration man 😞 . There is a way you can try fixing it. 

Just follow the below steps:

*Go to maps in phone and type the place where you want to change the regional language

*Once the pin is located on the name you want to change go to left corner of the app and scroll down and hit send feedback
