Description

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

plot_ly(data.frame(x = 1:3, y = c(10000, 20000, 30000)), x = ~x, y = ~y, type = "bar") %>% config(locale = "nl")

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

Thank you.

Research direction

Start by running the supplied plot_ly example with config(locale = "nl") and inspect how the R package applies the locale. Compare that behavior with plotly-locale-nl.js, which defines Dutch thousands formatting. Done means the resulting chart uses "." rather than "k" as the thousands separator for Dutch locale data.
