We currently don't have any internationalization support in Kibana, and adding it is going to be a very involved step as we hadn't built it for multi language support from the start. There's an effort outside of Elastic that is happening to bring i18n to Kibana though, and you can follow [this issue](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/6515) to track the progress and contribute. ---
