Language parameter for google maps link

Tags:

google-maps

It's not for API. It just link, for example I want to give some link:

http://maps.google.com/maps?&z=16&q=59.4195272,24.803938000000016

And forward user by this link for his language [en,et,ru ..] map version to http://maps.google.com/

Is it possible put in url-link to http://maps.google.com/ some parameter which will define language version for google map?

edit:

?hl=<language> or &hl=<language> 

Pick the language code from the same wikipedia article below.

Do you know the language preference of the person you are sending the link to?

If so you can send a different tld to get it in the language default for that location

i.e.

http://maps.google.fr <- French
http://maps.google.de <- German

Check out wikipedia for the full list.

If this is not what you are asking for, please re-word or add information to your question by editing the original.
