It’s unusual to have a choice between “Traditional” and “Hong Kong”. I guess Chinese speakers will infer that the “Traditional” option is Taiwanese, but it’s kind of awkward.

Are we hard-coding English only because most fonts support it, or are there other reasons? Translated language names would be useful to users who want to see the map in a language other than their own, but in that case, we should try to localize the language name into the current language, falling back to English. I think we can assume that the user has an adequate font for the language they currently prefer.
