I enable LAYER_ROADS layer in GE plugin using

ge.getLayerRoot().enableLayerById(ge.LAYER_ROADS, true)

But russian names are displayed with latin letters. In GE application
for the same place I can see cyrillic names. What should I do to make
displaying of cyrillic russian names?

Hi Alex,

That sounds like a bug; the plugin and desktop client should both
detect the operating system regional settings and adapt to them.

Can you file a bug for this? Make sure to mention your system specs,
OS, and plugin version (find that at code.google.com/apis/earth, look
below the plugin instance on the page).

Thanks!
Roman

Hello Roman.

Can I report about this bug right here or there is a bug list where I
should write to?

I have checked GE plugin on different computers with russian and
english versions of Windows. There were Windows XP 32 bit SP2, SP3 and
Windows 7 64 bit. Locations in Windows regional settings were Ukraine
or Russia. The result was the same. Russian names of roads were
displaing in latin.

Here is an example. How it looks in GE plugin

and the same place in GE application

Version of plugin I used is 5.1.3509.4636

We are going to create online map of our city and this question is
important for us. Thanks for help.
