Google Map API geocoder language not working

Question

I make 2 requests to Google Map API geocoder in different languages:

geocoder.geocode({
    'latLng': latlng,
    'language': 'en'
}, function(results, status) {
    if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
        $address_en.val(results[0].formatted_address);
    }
});

geocoder.geocode({
    'latLng': latlng,
    'language': 'ja'
}, function(results, status) {
    if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
        $address_ja.val(results[0].formatted_address);
    }
});

But geocoder use default language in both request.

--- Update: ---

I don’t see language parameter in new API documentation (Reference). But it existed earlier.

I found it in Changelog:

3.5 June 8, 2011

Noticeable changes:

• Removed GeocoderRequest’s "language" option

---

Is it possible to do this now?

Answer 1

The google.maps.GeocoderRequest object does not have a language property.

The addresses will be returned by the Geocoder using the browser's preferred language setting, or the language specified when loading the API JavaScript using the language parameter. (For more information, see Localization.)
