Cannot set the map language #63

I'm trying to work this out too. From the documentation it looks as if the setLanguage function takes in a style and a new language, and returns the style modified to be in the new language. I saw someone else's code which does the following: I tried splitting it out to look at the input style and output style, and it did indeed change the values from I wish the documentation was clear on how this is supposed to work. I don't know what the examples are supposed to do, and I'm not sure why it needs the |

It turns out that the only thing I was missing is to set the language of the map. My theory of how it works is that you alter the styles so that it knows that there is a language lookup for the new language, then you tell the map to use that language. For clarity, here is my code (where this.map.setStyle(this.mapboxlanguage.setLanguage(this.map.getStyle(), newLanguage.code))
this.map.language = newLanguage.codeHope this helps out. Perhaps the documentation could explain this better. |

I don’t see how setting I was only able to work around this issue by turning off style diffing (which has the downside of a jarring flash as the old style gets wiped away completely): map.setStyle(newStyle, { diff: false }); |
My website supports two languages: en, de. The currently selected language is set in the
<html lang>attribute. The user may choose the language they want out of these two. The map should follow that as well.Without this plugin, my maps are always in German, no matter what I do.
With this plugin, the map follows the browser's first language (if supported, see #4) but not the page content's language from the above attribute.
I saw that there is a
setLanguagemethod but it requires a parameterstylewhich is not documented. I have no idea what I should pass to it. So I cannot consider that method. And then there's nothing left. The plugin cannot set the map language to the page language.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
