time axis localization v4

[Zlatan Sadibasic]

Is there an example on how to localize time x-axis using different locales. For example I'd like to localize it in Russian.

The easiest way is to call d3.timeFormatDefaultLocale to assign the default locale before creating the time scale:

Another way to do it is to create a locale and then define your own custom format:

That's awesome. Thank you.

Just one more question, I do see that we have localized json files. Is there a feature request to make d3 compatible with moment?

After all, moment() does provide us with localized formatting options based on the loaded locales:

What do you mean by “make d3 compatible with moment”? You can use both libraries together if you prefer moment’s API to d3-time and d3-time-format; in that sense they are already compatible. For example, you can pass a custom function to axis.tickFormat to override how ticks are formatted. D3 APIs that work with dates expect JavaScript Date objects (or values that coerce to milliseconds since UNIX epoch), so for example you can pass a moment instance to a time scale’s domain and it will be correctly coerced to a standard JavaScript Date.

I thought we had to always have to use 
timeFormatLocale in order to get formatting to work with d3. Now I see how I can map moment's formatting into this. Sorry for my confusion.
