We have an immediate requirement for enabling multi lingual support in Kibana (localization/globalization) for our clients. All our dashboards visualizations should support local language. Is there a way to achieve this?

1. Do Kibana support localization for all the visualizations automatically ?
2. What are the best practices or steps need to be followed in-order to achieve localization/globalization ?
3. Please share the documentation to achieve localization?

Request your support / guidance here. Thanks!

Kibana currently only supports three languages [1]:

- English - `en` (default)
- Chinese - `zh-CN`
- Japanese - `ja-JP`

To switch languages, configure the `i18n.locale` setting in your kibana.yml file.
