This issue is for discussion of the map viewer capability “Display map content in a users preferred language”.

This capability popped into my head when I was working on adding tags to the various capability conclusions. I noticed that we have several tags related to localization, but no capabilities related to this yet.

Ideally, the map language would reflect the language set in the browser headers. From some quick testing, a few tools seem to support this, Google Maps and Bing being the main ones.
