Hi,
we want to access Ocean reverse geocoding by this API (api.geonames.org/ocean), but only English names being returned; how can i get different languages results?

eg: if setting param lang=zh, it returns a Chinese name; else if set lang=en, it returns English name

Use the lang parameter in your API call, e.g., lang=zh for Chinese. It returns names in the specified language if available.

If for an ocean the translation is not displayed then you can add it to the alternatenames of the corresponding geonameId.

It will take some days till the update is visible on the api.
