3.5 June 8, 2011 Removed GeocoderRequest’s "language" option

[usa]

What was the reason to do this?

I need to query a place name in 3 languages at the same time.
How to make it work now?

We made this change to simplify the API. The Geocoder uses the browser's preferred language, or language specified when loading the API. See here:

Sorry to hear this change didn't work out for you. Can you please elaborate on your particular use case?

Same problem here. In my case I need to reverse geocode in English to
have consistent result regardless the users' language, at the same
time I want the user to see the map in their favorite language.
