Google executives attending the Le Web conference in Paris, France on Tuesday announced that the company’s search “Knowledge Graph,” the extra information Google in May began including on the top of and to the right of the search results pages after certain searches, everything from a list of a popular actor’s hit movies to Wikipedia entries on famous persons, has gotten much smarter.

Specifically, Google has now expanded Knowledge Graph from English-only search results support to 7 other languages: Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese, Russian, and Italian. The database has also expanded from 500 million objects and 13.8 billion facts to 570 million and 18 billion facts, according to CNET
