Hi,  
Is it possible to switch between languages in kibana on the fly? At this moment I need to change option i18n.locale in kibana.yml file and restart kibana every time when I want to change language, but it would be much easier to have ability to change it from ui, without kibana reload. Is it possible? Maybe there are some custom plugins for it?
