I'd like to use the ArcGIS basemaps, but I encountered a problem pretty quickly.. In Brussels, which is a bilingual city, all the text is in Dutch.. Usually, other service such as MapBox put both Dutch and French text, which would be what I need, is there any way I can do that ? Also, when I use Geocoding and search for a street name in french, it finds it perfectly..

Hi @f5gogo,

Were you able to make it? If so, how was your experience?

I just wanted to make sure you have seen the new tutorials explaining how to do so: https://developers.arcgis.com/documentation/mapping-apis-and-services/maps/tutorials/apis/change-the... 

More client APIs coming soon. You can also check how to do it with Native SDKs in blog article: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-maps-sdks-native-blog/take-advantage-of-the-new-basemaps-styles... 

Bests,
Raul

@f5gogo this is a new feature that is coming soon.

If you can sign in to the recent Esri Developer Conference plenary and view the plenary day 1 video, you can see a demo of the new basemaps language feature https://www.esri.com/en-us/about/events/devsummit/plenary

it was announced that this service update should go live in April. Check the developer website for updates.
