    As per the documentation:

    “The API detects the browser settings of the user and set the language appropriately. It is possible to override the language in the
    APIs.”

    The input field placeholder will change automatically depending on the users browser agent language setting.

    You can also override the automatic language detection by setting the language parameter in your bootstrap request to a supported language.

    E.G.

    <script src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?libraries=places&sensor=false&language=ja"></script>
