Research direction

Reproduce the example with config(locale = "nl") and inspect how the R package applies the locale from plotly-locale-nl.js. Trace where decimal formatting is selected, then verify that the chart displays Dutch decimal commas without affecting other locales.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

When using config(locale = "nl") (Dutch) for data with decimals, "." is used as a separator instead of "," (Dutch default).

plot_ly(data.frame(x = c("A", "B", "C"), y = c(1.2, 1.5, 1.6)), x = ~x, y = ~y, type = "bar") %>% config(locale = "nl")

When I look in plotly-locale-nl.js it seems to be correct (decimal:","). Is this something that can be fixed?

Thank you.
