Localization of the notebook (lang, date format, decimal separator)

[rusosnith]

It's really cumbersome to have to localize every notebook to be able to consume datasets on other-than-US-formats.

Maybe could be temporary be fixed with a template (via "new-->localized notebook") with all the proper includes and configs to make the notebook work with other time formats, decimal separators, etc? (as in parsing, autotype, etc)

Could you provide an example where you'd like to see localized formatting applied?

To my knowledge the current locale should have no effect on parsing, since text input is parsed into numbers and Date objects. I assume you're referring to date strings in source data which have a specific format?

@rusosnith could you perhaps clarify this? thanks!

Hi, sorry for the delay on expanding this.

For example, to have the default time units in spanish in PLOT in this notebook

one have to always set the locale. It will also affect the default parsing, the autotype, etc.

(maybe there is an easier workaround for this, sorry if I'm a newbie and missing it)
