Windows phone 8 Map API GeocodeQuery.SearchTerm received nothing received

Question

I use GeocodeQuery to find the coordinates of a search query.

// Get your current position var myPosition = await new Geolocator().GetGeopositionAsync(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1), TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10)); // Define search var geoQuery = new GeocodeQuery(); geoQuery.SearchTerm = "Taipei"; geoQuery.GeoCoordinate = new GeoCoordinate(myPosition.Coordinate.Latitude, myPosition.Coordinate.Longitude); geoQuery.QueryCompleted += (s, e) => { if (e.Error == null && e.Result.Count > 0) { // e.Result will contain a list of coordinates of matched places. // You can show them on a map control , eg myMap.Center = e.Result[0].GeoCoordinate; myMap.ZoomLevel = 2; } } geoQuery.QueryAsync(); 

It works well! I got some place about Taipei successfully,

But when I search for "Taipei" in the cross Chinese "",

I got nothing in the geoQuery.QueryCompleted callback function,

 e.Result.Count = 0 

How should I handle a search for GeocodeQuery in another language? Thanks for any help!

Geocoding uses the system language to perform the search. If you change the language of your phone to Chinese, you should get the results.
