Setting the map interface language
To set the language, use the following:
nokia.maps.packages.load("language", "de-DE");
For the language, define it in format of ISO3166-1 alpha-2 country code, e.g. en-US, de-DE and so on.
Getting more language information
When you want to display more information, use the class nokia.maps.language.Info.
It has a method called getDefinition (code, [definitions]) : Object.
This will retrieve the language meta data for a given LCID. The look up will be done in two steps: First the full LCID (ISO-639-1 AND ISO-3166-1 alpha-2) will be matched. If the full LCID cannot be found the more general form (ISO-639-1 only) will be matched.
An example of using the getDefinition() method:
mylanguage = nokia.maps.language.Info;
Would return:
Object { definitions={...}, translations={...}, more...}
then...
mylanguage.getDefinition("de-DE");
would return e.g:
Object { key="de", iso639_1="de", more...}
Summary
Please check out the chapter http://api.maps.nokia.com/2.1.0/apireference/symbols/nokia.maps.language.html for more information on languages.
