Localized map

[jbelien]

There is a Mapbox plugin to have a map that displays labels in a specific language.
Unfortunately, it doesn't support NL at the moment (see documentation).

(it also doesn't support dark-v10 at the moment, only dark-v9 - see documentation).

Unfortunately the Mapbox Streets source doesn’t have a dedicated Dutch field either, so it’s only possible for GL JS to show streets in the local language, French, or English if you show roads directly from Mapbox Streets vector tiles. However, if you’re showing roads from another source, such as an Overpass query, then you could use gl-language as long as you override the supportedLanguages option to include nl and override getLanguageField to use name: as the key prefix instead of name_.

Thanks a lot for the feedback @1ec5 !

Meanwhile I discovered that base maps from @maptiler are available in FR and NL (and are more up-to-date) so it's maybe best just to switch to those base maps (see https://www.maptiler.com/cloud/)
