LocationCriterionService, location name is not fully translated in RU locale, why?

[Олег Голованов]

Hi.

Let's take as example location with id = 9057027.
Its canonical name is "Petersburg Borough,Alaska,United States".

Problem: if i request that region with locale=RU, its name will be "Petersburg Borough,Аляска,Соединенные Штаты Америки".
At the same time thats region is correctly translated in google ads keyword planner web service: "Питерсберг,Аляска,Соединенные Штаты Америки".

Question: is it somehow possible to get correctly translated location name with API?
Why API could not translate "Petersburg Borough" to "Питерсберг"?

Thanks.

Hi,

We were able to replicate the scenario. With this, I have created a request to update that particular location to its Russian equivalent. However, it is not a guarantee that this will be updated. You may follow our blog for updates in AdWords API.

Hi.

Example shown above is just one of many-many others.

The main question is: why keyword planner ( https://ads.google.com/aw/keywordplanner/home ) shows correctly translated region, but API not?
Keyword planner uses another "database", or?

Thanks.

Hi,

My apologies as I can not comment on if they utilize different databases or back-end configurations. However, I have already created a feature request for this to further check this behavior. I will inform you once there are updates.

Best regards,
