Google Chart geochart language option not working

[Daniel Zaiser]

Hello, 
I want to display country names from a table with german names, but when i try to display the google visualization api will always call the countries_en.js even tho i set language: 'de' on load.
What can i do?
I checked and there is a countries_de.js, so there should be a way to get this.
My Example-Code:

google.charts.load('current', {

  'packages': ['geochart'],

  'mapsApiKey': 'AIzaSyAr8MShV9ZEQVu2ah-aGv5cmg9t4FhftZg',

  'language': 'de'

});

google.charts.setOnLoadCallback(() => {

  const dataCountries = google.visualization.arrayToDataTable([

    ['Country', 'Popularity'],

    ["Deutschland", 333],

    ["Spanien", 249],

    ["Griechenland", 119],

    ["Italien", 99],

    ["Österreich", 55],

    ["Türkei", 47],

    ["Niederlande", 46]

  ]);

  const options = {

    region: '150',

    enableRegionInteractivity: true,

    displayMode: 'regions',

    resolution: 'countries'

  };

  this.chart = new google.visualization.GeoChart(this.chartEl.nativeElement);

  this.chart.draw(dataCountries, options);

}

This code is inside my angular function, it displays the map, but it won't color, because countries obv not in countries_en.js :(

network tab, chrome devtools:

Also idk if related: I am receiving a Geocode error-message, asking me to enable billing, i sure hope its unrelated...

for reference, if i change the country names in my table to the english equivalent, it will properly render the map as expected:

Hi Daniel,
I have the same problem.
google.charts.load('current', {
'language': 'de',
'packages':['geochart']....
is ignored.
Do you have a solution?

Hi Thomas,

It looks like you are doing the right thing, so I would suspect this
is a bug in the GeoChart. You might try the 'upcoming' version, which
was updated last spring (never released) to use the updated
geochartVersion and regioncoderVersion. See the configuration options
at: https://developers.google.com/chart/interactive/docs/gallery/geochart#configuration-options
