Reviewing submissions from other countries

It would be very helpful for the quality of reviews if you did not get to review submissions from countries you are not situated in unless you've chosen a bonus or home location in them..

In my case I'm not even close to the Polish border but close to half the submissions I have to review are from there. I don't speak polish, so I can't reliably rate any submissions that are in polish. I more or less have to rate on the picture alone which does not lead to high quality reviews..

Of course it's possible to use Google translate, but honestly, those translations are severely lacking for this purpose.

    It's especially bad for title/description edits, since those cannot be skipped. Can't help but choose something randomly (Google translate is usually useless), which likely messes up the results if a lot of reviewers end up doing that.

  • Start taking statistics, and submit a ticket when you have a lot of data. It shouldn't be too hard for Niantic to add translation to the interface - or apply the "border" rule to the playbox as well.

    Getting submissions from France, Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg 25% of the time, but hardly ever stuff close to me or in my town, which desperately would need reviews. Annoying. Partially I got no idea what I'm looking at, So stuff simply gets 3 stars reviews and that's it. There is too much to review as if I would have time to use Google translate.
