Localize the User Interface for Data Visualization

You can localize the user interface display language and regional data formats for Data Visualization.

The order of precedence for language and locale settings apply applies as follows:

  • Browser language preference (browser settings).
  • User setting for language or locale overrides the browser language preference.
  • URL query parameter for language or locale overrides the user setting.
  • Embedding parameter for language or locale overrides the URL query parameter.

When you localize the user interface display language or local-based regional data formats for Data Visualization it doesn't include workbook custom captions. You localize workbook custom captions separately. See Localize Data Visualization Workbook Captions.
