languageCode	Optional DefaultValue	The language to display results in, available languages are: de, en, es, fr, it, pt, ru
fuzzySearch	Optional DefaultValue	If no matches are found for the given address, start performing a recursive fuzzy search until a geolocation is found. This option is recommended for processing user input or implementing auto-complete. We use a combination of approximate string matching and data cleansing to find possible location matches

Example Usage

address = 'address'
country_code = 'country-code'
language_code = 'en'
fuzzy_search = False

result = geolocation_controller.geocode_address(address, country_code, language_code, fuzzy_search)
