In order to change the in-map language as well as the directions output language, slight modification to two lines of code needs to take place.
Example of Google Maps in French:
Open the google map code and search for the following line:
maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false
There are multiple instances of this line, all need to be changed to the following:
maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false&language=fr-fr
This will change the map to French.
