implement Plotly.js’ localization features in Plotly.py
Forum Tread: https://community.plotly.com/t/how-to-get-plotly-to-use-the-set-locale/43499
TLDR: You can't get Plotly graphs to show in any other language than English (e.g. axis labels for a date axis). The only workaround is to convert every label into a string, but then you loose some important features like tickstops.
The solution would be to get Plotly.py to use the set locale (e.g. locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "") to set it to the locale of the machine it's running on) - which apparently works in Plotly.js, but not Plotly.py.
Augusto Herrmann put a good write-up in the topic here: https://community.plotly.com/t/how-to-get-plotly-to-use-the-set-locale/43499/15?u=fludwig
Unfortunately, @nicolaskruchten confirmed that this is a problem: https://community.plotly.com/t/how-to-get-plotly-to-use-the-set-locale/43499/16?u=fludwig
Any updates regarding implementation?
Hi all, I'm coming across this open issue as I'm also looking for this feature! Is anyone working on this? :)
We are currently trying to get a major release finished for the end of October - we will be going through backlog and re-prioritizing after that, and I hope we'll be able to put some effort into this one. (Unfortunately, I also hope we'll be able to put effort into a couple of hundred others...) Thanks - @gvwilson

Keep up the great work!
