When you enter the location of a job, WP Job Manager will fetch data about this location from Google. This isn’t used by default, but some themes/add-ons use it to display jobs on maps etc.
This geolocation data will default to the site’s language selected in Settings -> General.
To specify another language to be used for geolocation, you can add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file, and replace the “en_GB” with the code for your chosen language:
// Add to theme functions.php
add_filter( 'job_manager_geolocation_endpoint', 'change_geocode_lang' );
function change_geocode_lang( $endpoint ) {
// Use language from https://developers.google.com/maps/faq#using-google-maps-apis
return add_query_arg( 'language', 'en-GB', $endpoint );
}
You can find available language codes here.
