如何告诉Google Maps JavaScript API v3使用芬兰（或瑞典）字符？

Question

I try to query LatLong-coordinates from a Finnish address with Google Maps geocoder. The aim is to draw a marker on a map where the address is pointing. It works with English characters so far but Finnish (and Swedish) characters 'ä, ö, å' causes trouble. I found this: Swedish characters in google geocode request

, but it didn't help.

For example this address doesn't have any problems:

"Mannerheimintie 10, Helsinki, Finland"

But this one has:

"Läntinen polku 10, Espoo, Finland"

Here's my code:

geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
geocoder.geocode({
  'address': address
}, function(results, status) {
  if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
...
... // do something
...

I tried with these parameters also but didn't work:

geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder();
geocoder.geocode({
  'address': address,
  'region': 'FI' // I tried also with 'language':'fi'
}, function(results, status) {
  if (status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {
...
... // do something
...

The API in use is Google Maps JavaScript API v3. ( https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/geocoding-simple )

So how do I tell this API to use Finnish (or Swedish) characters?

Answer 1

当您包含google js文件时，请尝试添加&language=fi进行本地化。

Answer 2

See the localization section of the documentation: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/basics#Localization

You can add the language attribute to the Google JS files to use a specific language.

For Finnish, use the following script tag:

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?language=fi">

---

EDIT

So, it seems that adding the language attribute just seems to control the language used by Google when rendering the results. For example, when specifying fi , the map produced would have everything in Finnish.

I used the Geocoding example provided by Google to create this JSBin: http://jsbin.com/ciroluwi/1/edit?html,js,output

Now, admittedly my knowledge of Finnish geography is limited but it seems to me that the address: "Läntinen polku 10, Espoo, Finland", provided by the OP is being located correctly.
