Localize labels into the user’s preferred language

[1ec5]

Since OpenTrailMap uses the same multilingual vector tiles as OSM Americana, it should also attempt to label features in the user’s preferred language. Unfortunately, OSM Americana’s label localization functionality isn’t reusable yet (osm-americana/openstreetmap-americana#914), but OpenTrailMap could temporarily use the more basic mapbox-gl-language plugin as a temporary workaround.

Diplomat is now available as a more fully featured alternative to mapbox-gl-language. It supports all the localized name data in OSMUS vector tiles without the hacky workarounds that the Mapbox plugin required.

It looks like the Trails tileset only includes name, so Diplomat would have practically no effect on this map.
