Set the grid's locale

To configure the locale of the entire grid, set the locale configuration option as a top-level grid option:

const hot = new Handsontable(container, {

  locale: 'pl-PL',
});

You can set the locale option to any valid and canonicalized Unicode BCP 47 locale tag.

Set a column's locale

To configure the locale of an individual column, set the locale configuration option as a mid-level column option:

const hot = new Handsontable(container, {
  columns: [
    {
      // set the first column's locale to Polish
      locale: 'pl-PL',
    },
    {
      // set the second column's locale to German
      locale: 'de-DE',
    },
    {
      // set the third column's locale to Japanese
      locale: 'ja-JP',
    },
  ],
});
