If you use @ionic-native/google-maps, please tell the package.json (only @ionic-native/core and @ionic-native/google-maps are fine mostly)

Current behavior: Can't change the map language and region

Expected behavior: If possible to have and option for it, like on the web (JS API), I can set the language and region in the url query (&language=ar&region=sa). Is there a way to change them programmatically because I'm working on a multilingual app ?

Thanks.

Good question, however there is no solution.

Although this plugin uses Google Maps JavaScript v3 on browser platform, Google Maps SDK for Android/iOS are used on Android/iOS platforms.

And there is no way to specific language for those native SDKs. These SDKs use system language automatically.

Google Maps JavaScript v3(browser platform) detects browser language by default.
