Hi,
currently, this is only possible, using string translation plugins like TranslatePress.
The plugin pulls your reviews in the local language of your Google Business Profile. While we have a dropdown select field for choosing the language, most of the time, Google will ignore this.

@paretodev that was a fast reply :-). I use WPML so perhaps that is the way to go to translate them. I was indeed checking because I found the dropdown but wasn’t sure of the function.
If this plugin is compatible with string translations however, it should work like you described.

@paretodev I can’t find the review in WPML to translate them (string translation). I did find the general plugin text files to translate in Dutch. Any domain I need to add to find them?
You can’t translate your review texts using translation files. They are dynamic and can’t be delivered through a fixed file. I only know that Translatepress is capable of this. It seems to filter the_content via the get_text hook or something like this. I do not think WPML is capable of this.

@paretodev ah ok I get it now. It is a pitty Google doesn’t recognize the correct language. As they do translate them in their own service when a non-native speaker sees the review (with a button -> read original)
