Localization in Angular Maps component

27 Apr 20242 minutes to read

The localization library allows localizing the default text content of the Maps component. The Maps component has the static text of some features such as tooltip of zoom toolbar, and that can be changed to any other culture(Arabic, Deutsch, French, etc) by defining the locale value and translation object.

Locale key words	Text to display
Zoom	Zoom
ZoomIn	Zoom In
ZoomOut	Zoom Out
Reset	Reset
Pan	Pan

To load translation object in the application, use load function of L10n class. For more information about localization, refer here.
