Language is no barrier for a new search option that Google announced today. It’s called “translated search” and has been available already in Google Translate; now it’s also available as one of the choices on Google’s Search Options panel.

The new option will take a search query, look for results written in other languages, and translate those results for you. Google suggests it could be useful when looking for restaurant reviews written in the native language of a country you’re visiting.

Google will try to choose the right languages automatically, but users can manually choose languages via the panel shown above.

This new search option is launching over the next day, Google says.
