Highcharts DateTime Localization

Question

Can someone point me to how I can localize the date-related Strings which are hardcoded in the HighCharts js-file. For instance, instead of the default 'Feb' date label in the x-axis, I would want the chart to display the localized value 'Fév'. I tried implementing the localization by setting the options on the language object before the chart is instantiated:

Highcharts.setOptions({
lang: {
    months: ['Janvier', 'Février', 'Mars', 'Avril', 'Mai', 'Juin', 'Juillet', 'Août', 'Septembre', 'Octobre', 'Novembre', 'Décembre'],
    weekdays: ['Dimanche', 'Lundi', 'Mardi', 'Mercredi', 'Jeudi', 'Vendredi', 'Samedi']
} });

but the chart still displays the default values.

jsFiddle with the problem.

    exportButtonTitle: "Exportál",
    printButtonTitle: "Importál",
    rangeSelectorFrom: "ettől",
    rangeSelectorTo: "eddig",
    rangeSelectorZoom: "mutat:",
    downloadPNG: 'Letöltés PNG képként',
    downloadJPEG: 'Letöltés JPEG képként',
    downloadPDF: 'Letöltés PDF dokumentumként',
    downloadSVG: 'Letöltés SVG formátumban',
    resetZoom: "Visszaállít",
    resetZoomTitle: "Visszaállít",
    thousandsSep: "",
    decimalPoint: ','
},
rangeSelector: {
      buttons: [
        { count: 1, type: 'month', text: '1 hó'}, 
        { count: 3, type: 'month', text: '3 hó'},
        { count: 6, type: 'month', text: '6 hó'},
        { count: 1, type: 'year' , text: '1 év'},
        { type: 'all', text: 'mind'}
    ],
    inputEnabled: false,
    selected: 0
},

note for all: weekdays starts from Sunday!

        lang: {
            months: ['Январь', 'Февраль', 'Март', 'Апрель',
                'Май', 'Июнь', 'Июль', 'Август',

            shortMonths: ['Январь', 'Февраль', 'Март', 'Апрель',
                'Май', 'Июнь', 'Июль', 'Август',
                'Сентябрь', 'Октябрь', 'Ноябрь', 'Декабрь']
        }
    });

Answer 5

To localize weekdays, Highcharts.setOptions should be called before chart creation and contain the new weekday names:

Highcharts.setOptions({
    lang: {
        weekdays: ['Dimanche', 'Lundi', 'Mardi', 'Mercredi', 'Jeudi', 'Vendredi', 'Samedi']
} });

Note that the array should start with the name for Sunday not Monday (the first day of the work week).
