ArcGIS Public - Basemap localization

AnandPaleja — Wed, 01 Jul 2020 11:39:53 GMT

I have created a Web application using ArcGIS JS API 4.15. where I am using BaseMap Gallery with default Basemaps coming from portal.

I know using dojoConfig, I can do localization of Widgets and Buttons. But it is not reflecting on basemaps. I would like to localized basemap as well (i.e. city, country labels on map).

is it possible in Arcgis JS API ?

Hi Anand,

With the ArcGIS JS API you can create new Basemap objects, which you can combine into a LocalBasemapsSource to be used in a BasemapGallery.

So, if you have any localized basemaps available you can follow this route to ad them to your map.

Here is a little example with basemaps for the UK from Ordnance Survey:

Hi Egge-Jan Pollé,

Thank for quick response.

I am aware about LocalBaseMapSource. My question is does default basemaps support localization ? if so how I can switch language.

As per What’s new in Esri Vector Basemaps (March 2020) . Localization is supported in many locales. list is provided on the announcement page.
