Japanese language for directions in Google Maps I am using Android 4.0 and latest version of Google Maps. The interface is in English. When I search for direction to some place say Kyoto, the interface is in mixed English and Japanese. See the attached screenshot to understand what I mean. 

 

How do see the destination names in English?
It's not possible to get it in English. You will always get the text as it is "locally". It's also a known annoyance.
