Set display language on locations to match Google Places API #552

Description

@marteloge

I am creating an app using google places api to search for autocomplete in a custom sidebar. We are using the autocomplete to search in our own dataset. We are using the map to display our custom data on the map.

The problem is that google places api shows results differently then the map.
For example: Sevilla, Spain from Google Places API is displayed as Seville.

I have set the language to en in the google places API and it would be helpful to figure out how to configure the locality on the displayed map as well so it matches the Google API.

I think is a parameter in a default Google map? (see below)

<script async
    src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY&language=en">
</script>
