How to find out which city has which name in which language?

Hi, I have an application where you can change the language. I want to show the user, base on which language he chose the city in his language. How is this achievable with this API?

Hi sorry for the late reply. I didn’t receive a notification for your question and just seeing it now.

Every country/region/city/place endpoint takes an optional languageCode param which currently can have one of the following values:

  • de (German)
  • en (English - DEFAULT)
  • es (Spanish)
  • fr (French)
  • it (Italian)
  • ru (Russian)
  • pt (Portuguese)
  • pt_BR (Portuguese - Brazil)

For example, to get cities in French:

GET /v/geo/places?types=CITY&languageCode=fr

Note that results in languages other than English are currently not fully guaranteed, but they should exist for major cities. In cases where the requested language translation isn’t available, the service will default the result to English.
