title: Google Maps API, can I change country names?
body: <p>I am using the Google Maps API v3 for a map on my Website, and am setting the laguage to French.</p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&amp;language=fr"&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>The problem is that Google has done a poor job for the French translation of country names. To remedy this, I'm wondering if I can rewrite all country names. I have searched and searched, but alas, nothing but style-based modifications it seems. Can this be done? If so, how?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,</p>
