    Default Issue with map widget

    Hello!

    I'm trying to get a map showing various shop locations on my webpage. I have a rectangle (as I read on this forum it's better to use a plain rectangle than the provided maps widget) and embedded the code generated online into the body.

    The map generates fine and shows all the locations, however the map is in the wrong language. It's seems to bounce between a couple of languages (including English) so I'm not sure how I can set it so it always shows in English. It's also not just my pc this is happening on. Any ideas?

    Thank you in advance.

    Not sure why this is happening. Maybe one of the more savvy members will have the answer.

    Please provide the code you have generated.

    UI labels should be rendered in the machine's region/locale settings automatically.

    I think you need to explain how the markers (pins) were all generated first off.

    That code doesn't look right to me. When I tried it the code was:

    <iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d3521.8678713956247!2d153 .4296780508095!3d-28.028513947324093!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i76 8!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x6b9104fdd6cb95bb%3A0xbf71c025 38a5165b!2sLove%20Nightlife!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sau!4v15 79555563608!5m2!1sen!2sau" width="600" height="450" frameborder="0" style="border:0;" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>

    Are you doing the same as the pic?

    I'm not doing it quite like that....

    I went to Google maps ->Your Places -> selected the map I want (which shows all my markers) and then I click on the "Open in My Maps" button. This takes me to the screen where I can add the markers, layers etc and that's where I click the "embed on a site" button and get the code from.

    Press WinKey+Space and advise what input languages you have on your machine.
