Does Google Maps Support European Languages?

I tried to display a map by using various languages in the url in the scrip tag:

http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?client=this-is-me&language=fr
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?client=this-is-me&language=de
http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?client=this-is-me&language=es

The map names are shown both in English and the local language. With some exceptions e.g. Ivory Coast is only in local language: Cote d'ivoire.

One would expect the map to be in the language requested. This is never the case in the languages I tested. Am I doing something wrong or is the actual translation totally wrong?

There is no guarantee that anything will be translated. At least the interface-elements(e.g. maptype-controls) should be translated.

Basically all 3 languages are supported (list of supported languages)
