 * Hi,
 * We set polling language to “German”, which retrieves ratings in, well, german.
   How do we poll ALL ratings (in all language)?

 * Hello Marc [@mcian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcian/),
 * Thanks for getting in touch again.
 * With the poll _all_ languages, do you mean the Shortcode parameter:
 * `[reviews_rating language="de"]`
 * If so, just remove this parameter or set it to:
 * `[reviews_rating language=null]`
 * If you want to retrieve all languages without a preference, I am not sure this
   is possible because Google will always try to assign a language whether one is
   set or not. Please read the [Places API Documentation](https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/places/web-service/details#language).
 * If you feel that this could be explored more as an intentional empty language,
   please do get in touch and I’ll look into this more.

 * [@mcian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcian/) I’ve just checked further
   into the documentation and found something relevant:
 * > _A JSON array of up to five reviews. If a language parameter was specified 
   > in the request, the service will bias the results to prefer reviews written
   > in that language. _
 * This means that having no language set may be advantageous when collecting an
   unbiased selection of reviews irrespective of the review’s language. I will add
   this functionality in a future release.

 * Awesome, so setting no preferred language is the way to go, done, works. Thanks
   for checking out as well!

 * [@mcian](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mcian/) I’ve clarified the unset
   value for Languages in the version 3.45. There’s also an addition to handle the
   retrieval fields (this will be helpful if other place data is affected because
   of the missing language preference).
