Very nice, can some one tell me how to do a Chinese version of google map? For reasons I don't want to get into, the Chinese version is avaiable at ditu.google.cn, not maps.google.com.
The map controls, tooltips, and copyrights have been translated for a subset of languages. To get the map to display the translation for a certain language, you can add "hl=XX" to your <script> tag, where XX is the ISO639 two-letter code for that language. For example, German has the code 'de,' so you would use: <script src="http://maps.google.com/maps?file=api&v=2&hl=de&key=abcdefg"> to get zoom controls that say "Verkleinern" instead of "Zoom out". We currently have translations for Basque (eu), Catalan (ca), Danish (da), Dutch (nl), Finnish (fi), French (fr), Galician (gl), German (de), Greek (el), Italian (it), Japanese (ja), Norwegian (no), Norwegian Nynorsk (nn), Russian (ru), Spanish (es), Swedish (sv), and Thai (th).
