How to force Google Autocomplete to result in "native language"?

Good evening together, I am using the Google Maps API for JavaScript coding. In fact, it's bascically this function: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/examples/places-autocomplete-addressform?hl=de

Now the question is: if I load the Google Maps in "French" for a French user, it will give me "Cologne" as result for "Köln". How can I force Google to give me the "native" name of each city as result, so Köln for Cologne, Beijing instead of Peking, Pekin, etc.?

Did you try using the language parameter in your script?

<script src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?libraries=places&sensor=false&language=yourLanguage"></script>

You can see a list of languages here: https://developers.google.com/maps/faq#languagesupport
