Localization plugin

[1ec5]

How about a plugin that uses runtime styling to automatically localize map labels into the user’s preferred language? There’s already a robust implementation of this feature in Objective-C targeting the macOS SDK that’s entirely compatible with the iOS SDK:

https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/blob/cc1ea759a681cadcfd06fd7bdda79ca6deb38c62/platform/macos/app/MapDocument.m#L346-L393
https://github.com/mapbox/mapbox-gl-native/blob/cc1ea759a681cadcfd06fd7bdda79ca6deb38c62/platform/macos/app/MGLVectorSource+MBXAdditions.m

mapbox/mapbox-gl-native#7031 tracks folding that implementation into the iOS and macOS SDKs proper. In the meantime, the plugin could be useful for developers whose applications ship in multiple markets on the App Store.

mapbox/mapbox-plugins-android#36 is the equivalent on Android.

Added to the Mapbox iOS SDK with mapbox/mapbox-gl-native#9582. Closing, but reopen if needed.
