Google Maps GeoCoding always uses browser language

I use the google ajax api downloader and want to get all the information in German so I download api maps like this

google.load("maps", "2", {language : "de"});

I tried deu, ger, de, de_DE and even en and ja_JP, but to no avail.

For those who do not understand my problem: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/5910/Jing/2008-11-24_2018.png you can try it at http://apps.komola.de/gmaps.htm The address is English on the English browser and German on the German browser.
