> For the complete documentation index, see [llms.txt](https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/llms.txt) # Localize the geocoder to a given language This example localizes the [mapbox-gl-geocoder](https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-geocoder) control for the German language by using the `language` parameter, which sets the geocoder UI elements, controls the language of the text supplied in responses, and also affects result scoring. The `mapbox-gl-geocoder` plugin uses the [Mapbox Geocoding API](https://docs.mapbox.com/api/search/geocoding/) to enable place search. Search for a street like `Hauptstraße` to see results localized for German (`de-DE`). > Example code: **JavaScript** ```html Localize the geocoder to a given language
