Setting Locale

To change the localization, you can use the locale argument in the config() function.

library(plotly)

x <- seq.Date(Sys.Date(), Sys.Date() + 360, by = "day")

fig <- plot_ly(x = x, y = rnorm(length(x))) 
fig <- fig %>%
   add_lines() 
fig <- fig %>%
  config(locale = 'zh-CN')

What About Dash?

Dash for R is an open-source framework for building analytical applications, with no Javascript required, and it is tightly integrated with the Plotly graphing library.

Learn about how to install Dash for R at https://dashr.plot.ly/installation.

Everywhere in this page that you see fig, you can display the same figure in a Dash for R application by passing it to the figure argument of the Graph component from the built-in dashCoreComponents package like this:

library(plotly)

fig <- plot_ly() 
# fig <- fig %>% add_trace( ... )
# fig <- fig %>% layout( ... ) 

library(dash)
library(dashCoreComponents)
library(dashHtmlComponents)

app <- Dash$new()
app$layout(
    htmlDiv(
        list(
            dccGraph(figure=fig) 
        )
     )
)

app$run_server(debug=TRUE, dev_tools_hot_reload=FALSE)
