Virga,

Are you using the source code version or the compiled version?

Robert,

I am looking for the same anwser, but i use the source code. What would need to be altered? I would like to show the directions in dutch. I use the 2.3.1 version of your widget in flexviewer 2.4.

Tried to set the <bingculture> to nl-NL in the config, also in the viewerstrings.properties, but with no effect.

Thanks in advance

Mateo and Jos,

Version 2.4.1 now supports changing direction language.

Robert,

Thank you for the changes in the updated version, works great!
I have a quick question about address format in reverse geocoding results in the "routeInput" window. I only get the cityname (see attached screenshot), where would i have to look to alter this? Here's my RouteWidget.xml

<configuration>
 <routetasksolver>http://tasks.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/NetworkAnalysis/ESRI_Route_EU/NAServer/Route</routetasksolver>
 <reversegeocode>http://tasks.arcgis.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/WorldLocator/GeocodeServer</reversegeocode>
 <singlelinegeocode>http://tasks.arcgis.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/WorldLocator/GeocodeServer</singlelinegeocode>
 <usebingforgeocode>false</usebingforgeocode>
 <directionslanguage>nl-NL</directionslanguage>
 <dirlengthunits>esriKilometers</dirlengthunits>
 <!-- alttxtbgclr = Route directions alternating text background color -->
 <alttxtbgclr>0xd7d7d7</alttxtbgclr><!-- pale gray -->
 <routesegment color="0xfbec5b" animate="true" alpha="0.8" width="8" />
 <showdirectionarrows>true</showdirectionarrows>
 <addbarrierlabel>Blokkade</addbarrierlabel>
 <addstoplabel>Adres Toevoegen</addstoplabel>
 <locateinstructions>Vul een adres in, druk daarna op de Enter toets</locateinstructions>
 <manualaddtooltip>Klik om locatie toe te voegen</manualaddtooltip>
</configuration>

Jos,

It probably has something to do with the fields that the WorlLocator returns... I will have to look into it.

Jos,

First you have chosen a terrible and old locator you should use this one:

http://tasks.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Locators/TA_Address_EU/GeocodeServer

So your whole RouteWidget.xml would be:

<configuration>
    <routetasksolver>http://tasks.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/NetworkAnalysis/ESRI_Route_EU/NAServer/Route</routetasksolver>
    <reversegeocode>http://tasks.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Locators/TA_Address_EU/GeocodeServer</reversegeocode>
    <singlelinegeocode>http://tasks.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/Locators/TA_Address_EU/GeocodeServer</singlelinegeocode>
    <usebingforgeocode>false</usebingforgeocode>
    <directionslanguage>nl-NL</directionslanguage>
    <dirlengthunits>esriKilometers</dirlengthunits>
    <!-- alttxtbgclr = Route directions alternating text background color -->
    <alttxtbgclr>0xd7d7d7</alttxtbgclr><!-- pale gray -->
    <routesegment color="0xfbec5b" animate="true" alpha="0.8" width="8" />
    <showdirectionarrows>true</showdirectionarrows>
    <addbarrierlabel>Blokkade</addbarrierlabel>
    <addstoplabel>Adres Toevoegen</addstoplabel>
    <locateinstructions>Vul een adres in, druk daarna op de Enter toets</locateinstructions>
    <manualaddtooltip>Klik om locatie toe te voegen</manualaddtooltip>
</configuration>

The reverse geocode address issue has been improved in version 2.4.1.1

All,

I have updated this widget again to fix (Hopefully all) the hard coded English text to make them configurable in the xml file.

Version 2.4.1.2 is now available.

Thanks a lot, just tried out the 2.4.1.2 version and the changes you made are great! 😄

Went back to the old world locator service for single line geocoding. 🙂
