Supported Languages

The following table shows the language, culture name, and locale identifier supported in the MapPoint.BR, MapPoint.EU, MapPoint.Moon, MapPoint.NA, and MapPoint.World data sources. Use the CultureInfo class in a SOAP header to set the language for data returned by calls to a data source (such as map labels, driving directions, and found location names). The Name and Lcid column headings of this table correspond to the related properties of the CultureInfo class; click a heading to open the Help topic.

Remarks

  • With the exception of English–United States, MapPoint Web Service uses neutral language. For example, if you pass in the specific information for French–France (CultureInfo.Name=fr–FR or CultureInfo.Lcid=1036), MapPoint Web Service returns information in the neutral language of French (CultureInfo.Name=fr and CultureInfo.Lcid=12).

  • The SOAP header in which the properties of the CultureInfo class are passed depends on the method called. See MapPoint Web Service SOAP Headers for more information.

  • Found addresses are always returned in the local language.

  • The MapPoint.Icons data source and the MapPoint Web Service point-of-interest data sources (including customer data sources) are not translated. MapPoint.Icons contains only icons. MapPoint Web Service point-of-interest data sources are in U.S. English.
