OT: languages in Google Maps

[E.S. Rosenberg]

If this is for Israel I don't know if they fixed it yet but in the past I
noticed often that embedded maps had nothing inside the borders of Israel
(which may have been a copyright issue).

Also don't forget the users' browser will send the users' language
preference in the GET request for the embedded map, so why pin the language?

Eliyahu - אליהו
