localizeLabels() doesn't work for Standard & Satellite Map Styles

[amzada]

Environment

• Xcode version: 16.0
• iOS version: 17.0
• Devices affected: Tested on iPhone 15 & iPhone 13 Pro
• Maps SDK Version: 11.6.0

Observed behavior and steps to reproduce

Calling localizeLabels() does not localize labels for standard and new satellite map style. Does however work for custom map styles + traffic map style

Expected behavior

Calling localizeLabels() should localize labels for all map styles

Notes / preliminary analysis

internal func convertExpressionForLocalization called as part of localizeLabels() returns nil

Hey @pjleonard37 👋 could you please take a look at this one?

Hi all --

Mapbox Standard introduced a new basemap approach that changed how layers are handled at runtime. As you've identified, this means that the localizeLabels() approach to translating map labels does not work for these styles.

We're working on a different approach to translating map labels for Standard and Standard Satellite and hope to share additional information soon.
