Google's street directions also fail miserably with international road names. Words are fine, but person names or abbreviations will often use the English pronunciation which can be inexact or even incomprehensible. For example: In Brazil, the major roadways are named with the initial code of the state, or BR if it's a federal road, and a bunch of numbers. So BR-101, for example. These are never named in full, so someone reading "BR-101" would not say "Brasil 101", they would say "B R 101". There is a state called Santa Catarina, with initials SC, but Google decides that we somehow get transported to the United States somehow, since it reads "SC-406" as "South Carolina 406". A human would at the very least have the context that SC definitely is not a common abbreviation for South Carolina in Brazil, even if they did not know any state names.
