Foreign nominations

Why are we forced to review foreign nominations? I literally have no idea what's culturally or historically relevant there. If Niantic wants half-assed coin flip decided reviews so be it but i call it unlogical. I believe we should be able to select to don't be forced to review foreign nominations especially if we don't even actually understand their language. Ofc since Niantic are America based they are bias towards this issue but i hope this thread will open their eyes once people share their experiences. @NianticGiffard

Have you ever considered it as an opportunity to learn about a different culture?
Reviewing in foreign languages is easy enough with Google Translate to help when it comes to easy to deal with submissions, such as playgrounds, places of worship and the like. Can you give me an example of a foreign submission you've reviewed where you've struggled to ascertain if it's culturally or historically important in the country it comes from?
Exactly everything else that's not a playground or a church, i am forced to do research if the nominated gym for example is unique or a massive chain, i just don't have the knowledge for it and can't be bothered to learn 5+ different countries of languages, cultures, and businesses just to be able to review
Today's nominations are from Taiwan. I'm from CT, USA and only speak English. Yesterday I had the same issue. I kept pressing skip and they were all coming up foreign. There is no way I have the time to translate all the criteria information. Any way to get me back to English nominations?
playing in USA might help...
Have you set up your home and bonus location? Have you ever been in Taiwan before, physically or by spoofing?
Spin some local Pokestops or hack local Portals might reset your review location.
