Localize the geocoder to a given language | Mapbox GL JS

This example localizes the 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 to enable place search.

Search for a place like olympic stadium to see results localized for German (de-DE).
