City name, County name returning in other languages not in English

When i search using below FQ API :

https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/search?ll=19.346523,-99.191292&query=gimn&oauth_token=Z1NASAZ5IEUSDJAJG1VMQO5YX410DJXUKBKAHXN0FYIB15BQ&v=20150401

In browser we got the City name as "Mexico City".

But, when i used this API call in file_get_contents or curl, city name is returning as "Ciudad de México" in spanish language. I need City name in English, Pls provide me the steps to fix this issue.

Thanks,

Suhanya.M

It's defaulting to Spanish, as it's the most popular for that locale. You can specify locale=en for English:

Here's what the new link would look like; note the additional parameter at the very end:

https://api.foursquare.com/v2/venues/search?ll=19.346523,-99.191292&query=gimn&oauth_token=Z1NASAZ5IEUSDJAJG1VMQO5YX410DJXUKBKAHXN0FYIB15BQ&v=20150401&locale=en
