How can I obtain search results in English with Google Place Geocomplete?

Question

My problem is:

Place names are written in different ways depending on the Geolocation, i.e. "Majorca" in Spanish is "Mallorca".

Is there a way to codify the results of a search so that, if the user types "Mallorca" (in their own language) in the search box, the results automatically relate to the English equivalent "Majorca"? Any suggestion?

Thanks!

I found a solution, if anyone need, I've did it in this way:

1. Get de PLACE ID

2. Then call api url with PLACE ID value

               $("myInput").geocomplete({
               map: ".map_canvas",
               details: "form ",
               detailsAttribute: "data-geo",
               location: center
           }).bind("geocode:result", function(event, result){
               var locAPI = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?key=[MY API KEY]&language=en&place_id="+result.place_id;
   
               $.ajax({
                   type: "GET", 
                   url: locAPI,
                   success: function(data){    
                   data.results[0].address_components.forEach(function(item, index) {
                           item.types.forEach(function(type, index) {
                               if (type === 'country') {
                                   $("#MYCOUNTRYFIELD").val(item.long_name);
                               }
                               if (type === 'locality') {
                                   $("#MYCITYFIELD").val(item.long_name);
                               }
                               if (type === 'administrative_area_level_1') {
                                   $("#MYSTATEFIELD").val(item.long_name);
                               }
                           });
                       });
                   }
               });
   
           });
   

This work for me, if anyone have a better solutions are welcome :)
