Live Maps Belgium launched…in French and Flemish!

After Live Search Maps for The Netherlands launched last month, their southern neighbor Belgium is now following with the release of their local Live Maps. And this is a special release at that. As you may know, in Belgium there are two main languages: Flemish (Belgian Dutch) and French. Therefore Live Maps Belgium launched in French (default) and Flemish.

    we hardly call it flemish
    officially the Flanders and Netherlands utilize the exact same language, but we talk with a very different accent and in a dialect

    just wanted to say that

    Agree with wargarurumon. And why they choose to enable French by default indicates they do not know about the linguistic reality in Belgium where 60% of the population speaks Dutch. Funny to see also that they use French placenames in the French version but English place names in the Dutch version, rather than the Dutch names.
