Remarks
With some methods, you can pass only specific cultures and with other methods, you can pass neutral cultures.
For those methods that allow only specific cultures, the culture string must be of the format "languagecode2-regioncode2", where languagecode2 is a lowercase two-letter code derived from International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 639-1 and regioncode2 is an uppercase two-letter code derived from ISO 3166.
For those methods that allow neutral cultures, the culture string can be in the format "languagecode2", where languagecode2 is a lowercase two-letter code derived from ISO 639-1.
In both specific and neutral culture strings, "languagecode2" must be supported by MapPoint Location Server.
