Probably not then. Actually I can't see a reason for it: surely
results should be displayed in the user's language, not the language
of the country he's looking for? Do you really want "Deutschland"
instead of "Allemagne"? Bear in mind too that there may be results in
French (for example) if you look for Albania (for example), but if you
then try and get the Albanian name, Google hasn't localised it you
will get the name in English.

Add an enhancement request, if it's not already there (do search
first): http://code.google.com/p/gmaps-api-issues/issues/list
