I am getting the AddressLine in local language(Hindi).

I was using Locale.getDefault(), thought that might be the reason.

But even after changing it to Locale.ENGLISH I get the same result.

List<Address> addresses = null;
try {
    Geocoder gCoder = new Geocoder(c, Locale.ENGLISH);
    addresses = gCoder.getFromLocation(lat, lng, 1);
    Address addr = addresses.get(0);

    String addressLine = addr.getAddressLine(0);

    }catch{
        }

I expected it to give the value in English, if that's not possible, return null so that i can go with something else other than AddressLine.

EDIT:

Tried this

Locale mLocale = new Locale("en");
Log.d("Display language = ", "" + mLocale.getDisplayLanguage());
Geocoder gCoder = new Geocoder(c, mLocale);

LogCat: Display language = English

But i get the same result.

Thank You

try `Locale.US` instead of `Locale.ENGLISH` – Bishan Feb 15 '13 at 06:54

@Archie.bpgc Did you manage to find out what's going on? I am recently seeing a similar issue where I request the reverse geocoding lookup in Locale.US/ Locale.English and receive localized fields especially problematic for me the "country code"? – saberrider May 05 '17 at 07:03
@saberrider I am seeing the same problem. With `Locale.English` I get the name of the city of Vienna sometimes in English and sometimes in the local language ("Wien"). Did you find a solution to this problem? – Markus Penguin May 29 '18 at 10:02
