Leaving out the locale param seems to give different results than explicitly setting locale=en

I'm not sure this is the correct report to report issues with the geocoding API.

According to the API docs: https://docs.graphhopper.com/#tag/Geocoding-API
the locale param shall have the default value 'en', yet it seems these queries gives different results:

https://graphhopper.com/api/1/geocode?limit=20&locale=en&key=API_KEY&point=59.863704493020094%2C17.639317368224624&location_bias_scale=0.5&q=primeke

https://graphhopper.com/api/1/geocode?limit=20&key=API_KEY&point=59.863704493020094%2C17.639317368224624&location_bias_scale=0.5&q=primeke

The first query finds our office, while the latter doesn't.

It seems that something is wrong in the underlying geocoder:

https://photon.komoot.io/api/?q=primeke&lang=default&lat=59.863704493020094&lon=17.639317368224624

https://photon.komoot.io/api/?q=primeke&lang=en&lat=59.863704493020094&lon=17.639317368224624

Leaving out the lang param in the Photon query seems to give the same result as with lang=en:

https://photon.komoot.io/api/?q=primeke&lat=59.863704493020094&lon=17.639317368224624

Can you try with curl? With the browser it uses the Accept-Language header.

Yeah, that's right, with curl https://photon.komoot.io/api/?q=primeke&lat=59.863704493020094&lon=17.639317368224624 gives the same result as the one without locale using the GH geocoder interface (e.g. with one result for "Primekens Kopf" in Finnentrop.
