Hi all, I'm trying to make a map of Thailand from google maps using the GMDL.
On the map it has both english and thai names for streets and places, but after creating only thai words can be seen. Is there any way to change it to english words?

I have the exact same question, any ideas?

I noticed in the case of Russia, http://maps.google.ru/ has Russian text only, while http://maps.google.com/ also has English.

Perhaps you can tweak somewhere the server GMDL downloads the tiles from?

Yeah I used maps.google.com, there were english texts, but once you preview/convert it, the language changes to the native country's

Plus there is no http://maps.google.co.th, and i've done a search for "co.th" in the GMDL code and did not find any reference.
