How do I change the language of a Google map object to something other than English?

I am putting in support for multiple languages. It's tedious, but straightforward for most objects (e.g. labels, buttons, etc).

How do I change the display language for a Google map? I'm aware of https://developers.google.com/maps/do..., but it's not clear how to do this in Tiggzi.

Unfortunatelly I'm not aware about exact steps, I'll ask our developer team and update.

Hello Haim! It seems there is no way to do this

Hmm... I thought that since Tiggzi is basically (sorry if I'm oversimplifying it) an IDE with support for APIs (e.g. jquery), etc - I thought that anything you can do in Javascript can be done in Tiggzi. I know that you (in theory) can change the language of the Google Map (see https://developers.google.com/maps/do...)

If I don't set the localization of the Google Map, will it come up with the locale based on the phone settings or geolocation automatically? Is there something in Tiggzi's support for a Google Map component that is essentially English?

According to the docs the API detects the browser settings of the user and set the language appropriately. Try to change settings in your device and see if something changed. For now it's impossible to change using JS, because it will run after map loading, but you should set the language before load, but we'll try to figure out what else you can do.
