    Hi there,
    love the plugin so far.
    I just have a problem with directions. All the buttons and links on the map appear in German as they are supposed to (Wegbeschreibung… )

    But if I get directions, they are in English. I have tried using locale option (de, de-DE, de_DE) but it’s not working. How can I have german directions?

    Thank you!
    Anja

    G’day Anja,

    Per the FAQ:

    Google Maps will use the locale information from your web browser to help display maps and directions in your language (see your browser’s language settings). If you want to force the Google Maps language for every map on a page, you can use a filter hook. For example, here’s how to force the Google Maps language to match the language of the page / post its on (e.g. when using WPML translated content):

    add_filter('flexmap_google_maps_api_args', 'force_flexmap_map_language');

function force_flexmap_map_language($args) {
    $args['language'] = get_locale();
    return $args;
}

    I’ll be looking at something a little more automatic than this sometime soon, when I get a “free moment” ha ha ??
