 * The 6.3.01 – 2015-10-06 – Change log states ‘Corrected internationalization’,
   but i can’t seem to find this option.

 * Hi there.
 * We will definitely look into adding this as a feature – currently the map’s language
   is dependent on the locale set out in the ‘Settings’ page of your website as 
   well.
 * I believe the entry in the changelog you mentioned above refers to other internationalization
   changes though.

 * **1.** It’s relatively very easy to add this as a setting to the plugin.
 * I the meanwhile for everybody struggling with it:
    After each update I update
   manually the ‘wpGoogleMaps.php’ file, searching for: `sensor=false` and replacing
   it with: `sensor=false&language=iw` (iw = Hebrew)

    (Ctrl+H on IDE or even notepad makes it an easy
   task 😉

 * It’s set to Hebrew, the admin interfaces (as well as plugin’s admin interface)
   is in Hebrew, and still the maps shows on the client side are in English.

 * So what is the meaning of those internationalization changes? where can i see
   them in action?
 * Me goal is to display the map on client side in specific language (Hebrew = iw),
   Here’s example of Russian (ru) as you can see here:

 * Thanks for responding.
 * If it possible, the change I’m hoping for is to have something like
 * > sensor=false&language=$map_language_setting
 * (on ‘`wpGoogleMaps.php`‘)
 * So we can choose the display language of the map for the client side.
