Robert, thanks a lot for you prompt answer, So, are you ignoring the response sent by locationToAddress and use the reverseGeocode API instead? ... View more

here is a full portion. Basically for a point that is at 22.297386, 114.173816 i display a circle on my map as well as some information about the address taken from evtl.address that i distribute into some html elements (last part) These information come always in native language, while i'd need the English/Transliterated version instead var map, tb; require([ "esri/map", "esri/dijit/BasemapGallery", "esri/tasks/locator", "esri/layers/FeatureLayer", "esri/layers/VectorTileLayer", "esri/layers/ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer", "esri/layers/ImageParameters", "esri/geometry/webMercatorUtils", "esri/InfoTemplate", "esri/dijit/Basemap", "esri/dijit/BasemapLayer", "esri/geometry/Point", "esri/SpatialReference", "esri/toolbars/draw", "esri/symbols/SimpleMarkerSymbol", "esri/symbols/SimpleLineSymbol", "esri/symbols/PictureFillSymbol", "esri/symbols/CartographicLineSymbol", "esri/graphic", "esri/layers/GraphicsLayer", "esri/graphicsUtils", "esri/dijit/BasemapToggle", "esri/dijit/Search", "esri/Color", "dojo/dom", "dojo/on", "dojo/domReady!" ], function ( Map, BasemapGallery, Locator, FeatureLayer, VectorTileLayer, ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer, ImageParameters, webMercatorUtils, InfoTemplate, Basemap, BasemapLayer, Point, SpatialReference, Draw, SimpleMarkerSymbol, SimpleLineSymbol, PictureFillSymbol, CartographicLineSymbol, Graphic, GraphicsLayer, graphicsUtils, BasemapToggle, Search, Color, dom, on ) { var lat = '22.297386'; var lng = '114.173816'; map = new Map("mapDiv", {    basemap: "hybrid",    center: [lng, lat],    zoom: 17,    slider: true,    infoWindow: false }); var locator = new Locator("https://geocode.arcgis.com/arcgis/rest/services/World/GeocodeServer"); var infoTemplate = new InfoTemplate("Location", "Address: ${Address}"); var symbol = new SimpleMarkerSymbol(       SimpleMarkerSymbol.STYLE_CIRCLE,12,       new SimpleLineSymbol(       SimpleLineSymbol.STYLE_NULL,       new Color([255, 0, 0, 2]),1    ), new Color([255, 0, 0, 2]) ); map.on('load', function () {    var pt = new Point(lng, lat);    locator.locationToAddress(pt, 100);    var sms = new SimpleMarkerSymbol().setStyle(    SimpleMarkerSymbol.STYLE_CIRCLE).setColor(    new Color([255, 0, 0, 2]));    var graphic = new Graphic(pt, sms);    map.graphics.add(graphic); }); locator.on("location-to-address-complete", function(evtl) {    if (evtl.address.address) { console.log(evtl.address);       address = evtl.address.address;       var whereToAddr = document.getElementById("addr"); whereToAddr.value = address.Address;       var whereToCity = document.getElementById("City"); whereToCity.value = address.City;       var whereToCounty = document.getElementById("County"); whereToCounty.value = address.Subregion;       var whereToState = document.getElementById("State"); whereToState.value = address.Region;       var whereToPostal = document.getElementById("Postal"); whereToPostal.value = address.Postal;       var whereToCountry = document.getElementById("Country"); whereToCountry.value = address.CountryCode;       var whereToMetro = document.getElementById("Metro"); whereToMetro.value = address.MetroArea;       var whereToNeighbrhd = document.getElementById("Neighbrhd"); whereToNeighbrhd.value =       address.Neighborhood;       var whereToType = document.getElementById("Type"); whereToType.value = address.Type;       var whereToCorrect = document.getElementById("Correct"); whereToCorrect.value = address.LongLabel;  } }); }); ...

The reverse geocode API seems to have a langCode parameter, so i assumed  locationToAddress would have one. My machine is a US one, but still i get JApanese addresses in Japanese characters or Chinese ones in Chines characters ... View more

Thanks a lot to you and John Grayson‌ for explanations, i'm gonna try to figure this out and get back here to let you know ... View more

Thanks for your reply, the number of records for my polygons are dictated by the database model, which is based on uniqueness (easier to maintain and keep clean). Also other datasets opted for unique multi-polygon records, for instance Census has a unique multipolygon record for the town of Charleston, SC which is an aggregation of smaller shapes sometimes disconnected from each other. Since my database is constructed around those open data sets, i need to keep consistency in the way i store the data. I am trying to wrap my head around what you are saying: Should i deconstruct the multi polygon into single parts layers before loading the graphics on the page? then let the users do their stuff and reconstruct it again before saving it back to SQL? ...
