I search an address by google map AutocompleteService with param language=zh (Chinese) and this is the address_components it give me :



[
{"long_name":"25","short_name":"25","types":["street_number"]},
{"long_name":"Nordallee","short_name":"Nordallee","types":["route"]},
{"long_name":"München","short_name":"München","types": ["locality","political"]},
{"long_name":"Oberbayern","short_name":"Oberbayern","types":["administrative_area_level_2","political"]},
{"long_name":"Bayern","short_name":"BY","types":["administrative_area_level_1","political"]},
{"long_name":"德国","short_name":"DE","types":["country","political"]},
{"long_name":"85356","short_name":"85356","types":["postal_code"]}
]


Only country type has the long_name in Chinese. How can I get long_name of types locality, administrative_area_level_2, and administrative_area_level_1 in Chinese too?

  • According to this doc the language code for Chinese (simplified) should be zh-CN. That said, I don't think you can expect every component to be translated. City names might be translated in some places/countries, but I don't think you'll ever get a street name translated into Chinese.

  • I try to test with ja (Japanese) but still only country names were translated. Actually, what I want is city names and countries name, so I only ask for locality, administrative_area_level_2, and administrative_area_level_1

    If I search for Shanghai, I get 上海市, 中国 and for Tokyo, I get 东京都, 日本 and that seems to work for many places around the world including Europe, America, etc. But searching for an address then the only translated component seems to be the country name.
