Add The Persian language

Question

I want to use Mapbox with the Persian language. I searched in the MapBox API Documentation And I didn't find anything. What do I have to do?

Answer 1

The Mapbox Streets v8 reference details the information provided by the default Mapbox Streets tileset. The languages in which label names are globally available are documented here. Additionally, each map label with a name field has a name_script field, which indicates the primary language used in that text (this is helpful for styling maps by the "local" language). Unfortunately, Persian is neither provided as a global nor local language at this time, but I would recommend keeping an eye on these references to see if label language availability changes in the future.

If you have the Persian label data yourself, you could upload the data to Mapbox and add it as a layer to a custom map style. Alternatively, if you have a relatively small number of map labels whose language you need to changed, you could follow this guide on customizing label text for a single label to replace the text with its Persian equivalent.
