Alex Chitu spotted that Google is now automatically translating certain foreign language words or phrases into English for some searchers.

You can test it yourself by searching for [buenos días], [buenas noches], [amanecer] and so on.

Here are some screen shots:

google-translate-search

google-translate-search2

google-translate-search3

It seems to auto-translate for shorter words or phrases, as opposed to longer sentences.
