@pizzacolomba The plugin doesn’t support this natively but it would be relatively easy to add via one of the existing filter hooks. I’m assuming you are using Highcharts? I’m not sure Chart.js even supports changes to comma/decimal uses it’s latest version.

In any case there’s the m_chart_chart_options filter hook:(

https://github.com/methnen/m-chart/wiki/Action-and-filter-hooks#m_chart_chart_options

If you wanted to add something like this to your functions.php file in your theme I imagine it would work:

function filter_m_chart_chart_args( $chart_args, $post, $post_meta, $args ) {
	if ( ADD CONDITION HERE FOR ALTERNATE LANGUAGE ) {
		$chart_args['lang'] = array(
	        'decimalPoint' => '.',
			'thousandsSep' => ',',
			'numericSymbols' => array(
				'K', 
				'M', 
				'B', 
				'T', 
				'P', 
				'E',
			),
			'numericSymbolMagnitude' => '1000',
		);
	} else {
		$chart_args['lang'] = array(
	        'decimalPoint' => '.',
			'thousandsSep' => ',',
			'numericSymbols' => array(
				'K', 
				'M', 
				'B', 
				'T', 
				'P', 
				'E',
			),
			'numericSymbolMagnitude' => '1000',
		);
	}

	return $chart_args;
}

add_filter( 'm_chart_chart_args', 'filter_m_chart_chart_args', 10, 4 );

Obviously you’d have to tweak the first conditional to check for the alternate language however is appropriate for your plugin, and then update the language options to match.

Does that get you anywhere?

I think it might be a change in WP 5.5.

It made a lot of jQuery related changes and this might be one I missed. I’ll look at figuring out a way to make it work better even when jQuery is in the footer.

Closing as I believe this has been dealt with as well as possible at this point.

Seems like that might work. If I’m understanding it right, it still looks like you’d have to enter the data in the xxx,xxx,xxx.xx format. But that would flip the display of it around to use commas in the decimal place.

They’re using another library to handle formatting rather than trying to just do a string replacement which is good honestly but you’ll need to include it in the page as well.

As for implementing it inside the plugin you’d want to probably call the code using an action hook.

Maybe this one: m_chart_after_chart_args

Then you could modify the chart settings to use the library when rendering the numbers.

Still yes, pain in the neck Chart.js doesn’t already support this stuff natively.

Chart.js is still fairly young I think and it’s just missing some features like this. Highcharts already includes native comma decimal support. If you aren’t working on a commercial project that would probably be an easier choice:

https://github.com/methnen/m-chart-highcharts-library/

I don’t believe Chart.js has built in comma decimal support.

I tried a number in that format inside of a chart and it does not appear that Chart.js knows what to do with it.

This issue was resolved over email.

I’d be happy to take a look if this is something reachable from my direction.

Could be any number of things going on.
