I just wonder what the word is in Swedish, I have found the term geospråklig but it doesn's seem to be the right one in this context.

geospråklig


Explanation:
The term (no hyphen) can be used in cases where you want to show on a map where a given language is spoken, in a country or area.
For example: 'geospråklig uppdelninng' av katalanskan (Catalan).

Först nu ser jag att det finns en kontext där uppe. Missade den helt tidigare.
En besökare kan knappast vara 'geo-lingual' eftersom geo- syftar på geografiskt område.
Då håller jag med 'anihed' och jär jag benägen att tro att 'multi-lingual' är det ord som borde använts här. Någon har gjort fel.
