I have changed the language for the google maps to Hebrew in the language setting but I would like to use the <iframe> code for my website. However, I can only seem to get this in English. How do I set it for Hebrew?
The URL has hl=he but I can't seem to get it to work for the <iframe> code.
My code is:
<iframe src="" width="600" height="450" frameborder="0"></iframe>
Thanks

You need to add language parameter of API call for embed map. For Hebrew language, src of <iframe> should be like:
src=""More info at Google Maps Embed API
More info about Google Maps API language support:
idk if this is really functional for other countrys but when im building a mock, and i found a google map iframe, and my client is by Example: US but im Mx the:
<iframe src=""
allowfullscreen></iframe>i just update this info in the Url, 1sen!2sus, then the iframe is shown in english.
i hope this can helps to you to.
3In 2016 it doesn't work anymore for embedded code directly taken from maps.
But &language=ru would work if you generate your code here:
You'll have to create api key.
Also you can use link like this -
src=""Майдан+Незалежності,+Київ - map locaton
uk - language
While using Google Map embeed iframe you can replace default language parametr on the src , you can look at at my example I point the placement of default language code : For example - az for Azerbaijan language
<iframe src=" can find this point and replace with your locale language for example 'az' then iframe will translate into your locale language}!2s" width="600" height="450" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> I had the same problem. I am a Dutchman living in Brazil. I developed a website for a Brazilian firm. The result the iframe rendered in the web-page was in Dutch. Then my client tested the site and everything was in Portuguese. The answer can be found in the native browser settings (Dutch for me), (Portuguese for my client).

1While using Google Map embed iframe changing the default language parameter works for me. See here which parameter to change:
In the image currently, the Nepalese language is used and if we change the language parament "ne" to "en", all the text in the map will appear in the English language.
Also, you can change the language parameter from the google maps page. In the bottom right corner, click the location icon which shows your location, and change it to the required country you want.
So to sum the answers to this question up, the language key depends on what API you are using:
key : hl
list of possible parameters (search page for keyword "hl")
key : language
list of possible parameters
