Dash internationalization

Hi everybody!
I would like to create a multilanguage Dashboard , with the option to change language at runtime.
It’s a multitab dashboard and I am facing the following problems:
1)To share the selected language in all the tabs, considering that it could be changed at every moment.
2) To translate again the app when the selected language changes.
Any suggestion?

Hi,
I am working at a version where you choose your language at the login action and it doesn’t change for all the session.
I achieved good results thanks to locale and gettext libraries, but I am facing another issue.
As second language is Spanish, I must declare it:
external_scripts = [“https://cdn.plot.ly/plotly-locale-es-latest.js”]
app = dash.Dash(‘my title’, external_scripts=external_scripts)
server = app.server

It works, that is all the graphs (lines barchart, candlesticks) are loaded with spanish locale support but no way of getting for them english locale if I choose english as language. It seems that the only way of getting Graphs with english support is not loading spanish locale as external_script.
Any suggestion?
Thanks.
Stefano

I got it!
It was easier than it seemed.
After loading the second language (Spanish, in my case), check the locale the user chose.

if locale.getlocale()[0]==“es_ES”:
config_plots = dict(locale=‘es’)
else:
config_plots = dict(locale=‘en_US’)

Finally, add the config parameter to your dcc.Graph:
dcc.Graph(id=‘candlestick1’, config=config_plots)

Greetings

Stefano D.
