First, from the perspective of the global market, Google's products need to adapt to the needs of different countries and regions. Different regions have their own unique languages ​​and cultures, which requires that the product manuals, operating interfaces and related promotional materials be able to switch between multiple languages ​​to facilitate user understanding and use.

Take thermostats as an example. If instructions are only provided in a single language, it will undoubtedly increase the difficulty and barriers for non-speakers of that language. For example, in some non-English speaking countries, if the operating instructions of the thermostat are only available in English, many users may not be able to set the temperature correctly or understand its functional features due to language barriers, which will greatly affect the user experience.

In addition, in the process of product development and promotion, communication between team members also requires multilingual support. Engineers, designers, marketing personnel, etc. from different countries and regions need to communicate effectively in their own familiar languages ​​in order to jointly complete product development and promotion.

In the unboxing video of the thermostat, we can see its exquisite design and advanced functions. However, behind this is the result of the joint efforts of a cross-regional and cross-language team. They may use English as their working language, but when it comes to some specific technical details or the special needs of the local market, they need to switch to other languages ​​for more accurate and in-depth communication.

At the same time, with the development of the Internet, users' comments and feedback on products also come from all over the world. These comments and feedback are often in different languages. Enterprises need to understand users' needs and opinions through multilingual data analysis and processing, so as to continuously improve products.

Furthermore, from the perspective of international trade, multilingual switching is also crucial for the import and export of products. To be sold globally, thermostats must meet the legal and regulatory requirements of different countries and regions, and relevant documents and certification materials often need to be provided in local languages.

In short, although the unboxing video of Google's 4th generation Nest Learning Thermostat is just a specific product display, it reflects a globalized and multilingual business environment. In such an environment, the ability to switch between multiple languages ​​is not only a convenience, but also one of the key factors for companies to succeed in the international market.
