@numandev1 this would be an issue in the google-maps SDK itself, you should be able to setup a sample google maps iOS app and test that locale based feature such as geographical feature naming is different between locations.

this could be solved also by using a custom google cloud based map where you can modify a lot of map features, but unfortunately for iOS this is not supported yet in this library because of an open pull request here: https://github.com/googlemaps/google-maps-ios-utils/pull/451
