Before using Google Ads AI campaign localization in a new market, decide whether the offer, ads, destination, targeting and spend settings fit the people and places your business can serve. Translation is one input to that decision; it does not approve the campaign for launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Search beta lists English (US) sources and ten target languages, including French (Canada). Eligibility requires active or paused originals within entity-size limits and supported-language assets and keywords; election-verified customers are excluded. Optional global instructions precede a separate campaign; the source is unchanged. It translates text and keywords, removes text overlays from images and adds translated messaging as supplemental text assets, and shows original, translation, back-translation and notes. Landing-page options are a snippet or URL\/domain updates, followed by an unclear warning against URL changes. Setup asks for a new budget; the overview says bids and budgets copy exactly without currency conversion, so verify final values. The default publication option is Paused.

Google says<\/a> that from September 2026, campaign-level language targeting is removed for Search; in Performance Max it stops applying on Search inventory but remains for YouTube, Display, Discover and Gmail. Shopping ads are stated to be unaffected. Verify account behavior if it matters to launch. DMT\u2019s Google Ads language-targeting guide<\/a> covers the related setting change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Language does not select geography. Google says the default location option can include people who have shown interest in an area as well as people physically or regularly there; Presence can narrow that criterion. Choose locations the business serves and inspect this setting. Google Ads Help explains the location options<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These are suggested advertiser controls and reviewer decisions. Treat them as a human release process, not a description of automated tool checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Illustrative global instruction; all names and offer details below are fictional:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n For French (Canada) customers in Quebec, keep the Aster brand and AX-17 SKU unchanged. Mention 20% off the first year only for new Quebec customers through 30 November 2026; state that renewal uses the standard price. Use clear, courteous Canadian French. Match prices, eligibility and the call to action to the approved page, and do not imply availability outside Quebec.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n A public r\/googleads thread illustrates why a target-language reviewer matters: one advertiser described Search headlines that became awkward under character limits, and commenters suggested review by a speaker or translator. This is one self-reported discussion, not a test of the localization tool. Read the practitioner thread<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Consider a fictional business that serves Quebec and has an English (US) campaign with a $50 daily cap. Its account owner approves a $25-per-day French-Canada test in the same account currency, and a qualified reviewer approves the example brief above. The $25 cap is this business\u2019s illustrative limit, not a suggested budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The site team maps Hold if the checkout still presents an English offer, applies terms the business has not approved for Quebec, or shows a price or currency that conflicts with the approved page. Also hold if the final campaign does not show the approved $25 limit. Proceed only when the market, copy, destination and spend evidence pass and each named approver signs off.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMarket brief and approval matrix<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
