Localize map labels

By default, the HERE Map Image API v3 displays map labels in each country's local language, depending on the data available. However, you can localize map labels and text elements to a specific language. To achieve that, you can use lang parameter to specify the primary language. The lang2 parameter enables you to specify an additional (secondary) language, for dual labeling purposes.

The default parameter values in this example generate a map centered on the Balkan peninsula, with the zoom level of 7. Use the Primary language and Secondary language fields to adjust the language of map labels through lang and lang2 parameters, respectively.

Note

You can use lang and lang2 parameters independently of each other. For example, this means that you do not have to specify the lang parameter value before specifying the lang2 value. If you provide only lang2 in your request, the map displays the primary label in the local language.
