Multilingual reviews


Recommended Posts

How does PS deal with multilingual reviews?

Ideally, I would like to see the following functionality:

On the product pages, only those reviews show show up that are in the current display language.

Ratings should continue to be aggregated across languages.

I am suggesting that the language of the product page be tagged when a customer writes a review. If a customer writes a review on an English product page, it is tagged as English review, if (s)he writes it on a French product page it is tagged as a French review. And subsequently on English pages only English reviews are shown and on French reviews are shown on the French pages.

I am NOT suggesting that each review be written in all installed languages the way product descriptions are written in each language. Rather, I am saying that if a user is visiting an English product page, we should assume (s)he understands English and is interested in English reviews and show only reviews written in English rather than a mix of English, German, Dutch and French reviews in a haphazard fashion.

Or, the reviews could be sorted by language, with current language reviews on top...

Let's say I visit the product page in German, and there are German, Dutch and English reviews submitted by other users, then here's what I see when I scroll down to the Review section/ click on the Review tab:
First of all, I see all the German reviews.
Then after all German reviews, there's a header that says "Reviews submitted in other languages:"
This is followed by all other reviews. After the name of each author, name of language is stated.

e.g.

Reviews

Rainer
*****
Sehr gut!

Ingo
*****
Sehr gut!

Reviews written in other languages

Robert (English)
*****
Very good!

Laszlo (Hungarian)
*****
Eros!

Francois (French)
*****
Tres bien!
