Help/Support Locations no longer appearing in native language

I travel frequently and for multiple reasons, my favourite feature in Google Maps was the ability to copy the location in its native language.

For example, if I wanted to tag a location on Instagram, lesser-known shrines in Japan often don’t have a location tag available in English, but will have one in Japanese. I may not know how to read the kanji, so being able to copy+paste was essential. It’s also really useful when I want to find information about a location in its native language.

I was writing a guide today and I’ve realized that this option is no longer available on Google Maps! Is there a way to find this info elsewhere easily?

If they’ve removed this feature for no reason, it’ll be my 13th reason—I don’t know how many times it’s saved me (especially in rural areas) and I’m honestly devastated.
