Translation / localization of API strings

[stanvass]

I can't see a parameter that allows me to localize/translate the POI details (to German, for example). Is this a feature? I see old discussions about it, but I see no parameters in the documentation. What would be the recommended approach here?

Hi, I'm not really sure what you mean? The API data field names are fixed and not translatable if that's what you mean (they are a direct serialization of our object model) - you can of course call them anything you like in a UI.

Hi,

Not field names, but UI strings under "Title" as seen throughout the core reference data for things like charger types, connection types, check-in types, etc.: https://api.openchargemap.io/v3/referencedata/ Ideally also the charging point comments, although I could see how that won't work if the submitter provides no translation. But at least the general purpose collections.

Thanks.

UI localisations can be found here, however they are community maintained and not regularly updated:
