Google Maps – How to Change the Language

google mapslocalization

My Chinese is still pretty poor, and my Korean is worse.  But Google Maps recently began showing me everything in Korean or Chinese.  Sometimes even a mixture of both. I can't find anything to change it.  My browser, if I don't catch it, switches me to maps.google.es, but that doesn’t make it Spanish.

I can follow an itinerary with difficulty, but choosing the best one it offers is a major problem.

How can I get it to do a language I am reasonably good at? (English or Spanish preferred.)
