I use jqplot, and I have date into my x-axis.
I use the DateAxisRenderer plugin but I want to translate the date to my current locale.
For example, for english
Jan 2012
Feb 2012...
and for french
Jan 2012
Fév 2012...
Any ideas?

jqPlot uses jsDate internally: http://sandbox.kendsnyder.com/date2/
jsDate has built-in localization support and locale detection. This capability, however, is limited to a few ,pre-configured languages, on internal regional table (see 2.).
1. For the lucky ones
Since in my version of jqPlot (v1.0.4) the French language is included in this table (maybe a gift from the authors) all you have to do is simply setting the lang attribute on your <html> tag:
<html lang="fr">
Et voilà...
2. Foreigners
If you want to add your own missing language at runtime you can use these instructions:
$(document).ready(function(){
// Add a new localization
$.jsDate.regional['it'] = {
monthNames: ['Gennaio','Febbraio','Marzo','Aprile','Maggio','Giugno','Luglio','Agosto','Settembre','Ottobre','Novembre','Dicembre'],
monthNamesShort: ['Gen','Feb','Mar','Apr','Mag','Giu','Lug','Ago','Set','Ott','Nov','Dic'],
dayNames: ['Domenica','Lunedi','Martedi','Mercoledi','Giovedi','Venerdi','Sabato'],
dayNamesShort: ['Dom','Lun','Mar','Mer','Gio','Ven','Sab'],
formatString: '%d-%m-%Y %H:%M:%S'
};
// Do not forget to call
$.jsDate.regional.getLocale();
});
Do not forget to call $.jsDate.regional.getLocale() to refresh internal settings and to set the <html> tag accordingly.
Mine looks like:
<html lang="it">
That's all...
If you aren't able to control the markup for the html tag, you can set it with
document.documentElement.setAttribute('lang', 'it');
It doesn't work to set lang of an intermediate element, like a surrounding div.
