There is also this in the documentation:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/basics.html#Localization
which says you can do this:
============
For example, to display a Maps API application in Japanese, add
&language=ja to the <script> tag as shown below:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?
sensor=false&language=ja">
============

And there is a language property defined in the GeocoderRequest
object:
http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/javascript/reference.html#GeocoderRequest
language string Preferred language for results. Optional.

But that isn't the directions service.
