Localization

It is possible to localize the interface of the Diagram editor into a desired language. For this, you need to provide the corresponding locale settings via the dhx.i18n.setLocale() method. The method takes two parameters: the diagram container and an object that contains rules of localization for a particular country.

dhx.i18n.setLocale("diagram", locale);

After that, you need to initialize the editor and check how the labels' names have changed.

const editor = new dhx.DiagramEditor("editor_container", {
    type: "default" // "default" | "org" | "mindmap"
    // other config options
});
