Supported Culture Codes

The following list shows the culture codes supported by the Bing Maps REST Services APIs.

Note

For supported cultures, street names are localized to the local culture. For example, if you request a location in France, the street names are localized in French. For other localized data such as country/region names, the level of localization will vary for each culture. For example, there may not be a localized name for the "United States" for every culture code.
