## Features
12+
13+
Diplomat gives all parties a win-win:
14+
15+
* Tailors labels to the user’s preferred language.
16+
* Respects multilingualism with optional dual language labels: both the user’s preferred language and the local native language.
17+
* Recognizes any language, dialect, or script out of the box.
18+
19+
Diplomat lets your designer save face:
20+
21+
* Uses space efficiently with both multiline and inline label layouts.
22+
* Deduplicates names within a label to avoid clutter.
23+
* Preserves diacritics in English exonyms where appropriate.
24+
* Respects right-to-left and vertical text layouts.
25+
26+
Diplomat works quietly behind the scenes:
27+
28+
* Changes the style on the fly at runtime – no need to publish a new style or tileset for every language.
29+
* You choose which style layers to localize, or localize them all automatically.
30+
* Supports multiple popular vector tile schemas without hacky workarounds, plus custom vector tilesets and GeoJSON sources.
31+
32+
All localization is subject to the availability of localized names in the map data source. See [the caveats](#caveats) for more details.
