As you know, Google has new features in many European regions to promote vertical search services (VSS) by way of the Digital Markets Act. Many of those changes have been live for a while, but now the Ecosystem carousel seems to be live. This adds "related websites" under these widgets, such as the weather and translate widget within Google Search for these regions.
We covered the Ecosystem carousel when we covered the regional differences Google help document the other day. Google wrote there, "Ecosystem carousel: A carousel that may appear alongside answers that require data visualizations and interactivity with data (for example, stock charts, weather information, sports scores)." There is a larger help document on this unit here.
That being said, the new ecosystem carousel format in the EEA is now live according to Lluc B. Penycate. Here are some screenshots he posted on X of this going live.

Translate:
This works for "weather, sports, finance and translation queries across desktop and mobile," Lluc said.
