Localization

[Alex-Ikanow]

(ie ensuring that all the text is in whatever language the browser is set to ... eg replacing all the strings in places like https://github.com/elasticsearch/kibana/blob/master/src/app/panels/dashcontrol/editor.html with tokens that can vary from language)

Plus if it's not planned yet - any thoughts on how architecturally you would eventually likely do that (I think there's not yet a consensus "standard approach" for AngularJS like there are for older technologies)?

If you put any thoughts down then should we need to add localization to our fork in the meantime (say 25% chance in the next 4 months), we can do it in a way that is most likely to be able to be contributed back via pull request.

We're working on localization for an upcoming version, yes.

Now that we have field formatters, numeral.js can help here: https://github.com/adamwdraper/Numeral-js/blob/master/languages/da-dk.js

I have a field called amount. But it could contain various different currencies, and therefore I am not interested in formating it like "DKK 10.000". I would just like to format it with "." as thousand separator, which is the standard here.

i woulk like to display the numbers in my kibana dashbaord in the german language format (like 1.000,00). The German Format is allready in numeral. How can i apply the format provided by numeral?

I was also looking into adding localization support for kibana.

@srl295 : What is the target for this (Kibana Globalization #6515)? Will this affect Kibana 5.x? I noticed that the master branch for Kibana seems to be 6.(x?0.0?)

I'm going to close this issue out in favor of #17201. While that is a much newer issue than this one, it contains a lot of information about our current localization effort, and it's best if we don't fragment the discussion across multiple issues.
