Translation of map labels

Post by Bernd Welter »

Hi there,

recent request of a prospect was "can you display maps in different languages?" (i.e. translation of city labels required)...
The answer is "yes". Looks like this:
some samples:<br />Default - Dutch - French<br />English - Spanish - Greek<br />Arabic - Thai - Russian-Cyrillic
some samples:
Default - Dutch - French
English - Spanish - Greek
Arabic - Thai - Russian-Cyrillic
and zoomed out...
and zoomed out...
There are many more languages available, feel free to ask ;-)

Best regards Bernd

Hi Bernd,

I need to implement this for a Thai customer.

I have tried to follow instructions here..

http://xserver.ptvgroup.com/fileadmin/f ... nguage.htm

But the labels are still appearing in English - What could I have missed ?

Thanks

Chris

Hello Chris,

this can depend on the map that is used. If the map doesn't contain the target language for the region you are dealing with we simply render the countries default language.
Maybe we can have a one:one session to check the local constraints.

Get back to me via email and arrange a slot of 30mins.

Best regards,
Bernd
