According to the documentation:
"The API detects the user's browser settings and sets the language correctly. You can override the language in the APIs."
The placeholder for the input field will automatically change depending on the language settings of the browser agent.
You can also override automatic language detection by setting the language parameter in the bootstrap request to a supported language .
eg.
<script src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?libraries=places&sensor=false&language=ja"></script>
