SolutionHi @ChathuraL
1. Open your web browser and go to Google Maps.
2. Open the one of the place you want to edit.
3. Do a suggest edit to see what languages of Name is already there. andy ou can change the preferred language to enable this new field.
- If you want to know what the existing name's language is, just clear out the name, and Maps will display the language in grey text inside the text box
I hope you will find these tips useful.

Hai @ChathuraL
There is no option in Google Maps to enter the name of a place different language in two lines(as you described)
You can enter the name in three ways
1. Use only local language
2. Use only English
3. Use <Local>"space"<English>, or <English>"space"<Local>
The feature denoted in your second screenshot might available in mapmaker.

@arjunsbmp That is not quite true. The ability to add languages (other than English) depends on your Google profile. If you set your user account (Under My Account -> Account Preferences -> Language & Input Tools) to have multiple languages options, you can add place names in other languages when Google deems necessary.
@ChathuraL The reason why I say "deems necessary" is because some places Google will not let you have names in other languages.

@WetCoastCanuck thanks for the information,I have read a content that saying two languages in two lines is not (as in picture 2)possible on map, that's why I replied like above.he denoted representing names in multiple languages in two methods( pic 1&2)
