ios - iphone default map app open with different language

Question

I successfully open Iphone default app with current user location but if user has selected a different language (e.g.. for Dutch Current Location = Aktueller Ort) then current location and route is totally wrong.

NSString *mystr=[[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Current+Location&daddr=Destination"];
NSURL *myurl=[[NSURL alloc] initWithString:mystr];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:myurl];

Although we can detect current language and match using switch case but we need to translate "Current Location" to all supported languages by iphone map app.

I tried wiki link for parameters and found hl parameter but not worked for me I think method for apply parameter by me is wrong or something.

So how can I open map app with particular fix language like english even when user selected different language?

thanx for any help!

You can get the current user location by the Core Location Framework and pass latitude and longitude to the google maps url. Or you can check the current language and translate "Current Location" in a lot of lang and pass it to the url.

NSString *language = [[NSLocale preferredLanguages] objectAtIndex:0];
