I'm using d3.js for charts and now would like to update it to v4.
It was found that d3.locale() doesn't work anymore since the translation all date formats are on different language.
How can I fix that? I'm digging the forum, but for v4 I didn't really find it.

Reset to default 16You have to use d3.timeFormatDefaultLocale(definition) in d3 V4.
Here is an example for German days and months:
d3.timeFormatDefaultLocale({
"decimal": ",",
"thousands": ".",
"grouping": [3],
"currency": ["€", ""],
"dateTime": "%a %b %e %X %Y",
"date": "%d.%m.%Y",
"time": "%H:%M:%S",
"periods": ["AM", "PM"],
"days": ["Sonntag", "Montag", "Dienstag", "Mittwoch", "Donnerstag", "Freitag", "Samstag"],
"shortDays": ["So", "Mo", "Di", "Mi", "Do", "Fr", "Sa"],
"months": ["Januar", "Februar", "März", "April", "Mai", "Juni", "Juli", "August", "September", "Oktober", "November", "Dezember"],
"shortMonths": ["Jan", "Feb", "Mär", "Apr", "Mai", "Jun", "Jul", "Aug", "Sep", "Okt", "Nov", "Dez"]
})
You can use
d3.formatLocale(definition) or d3.formatDefaultLocale(definition)
have a look at this documentation https://devdocs.io/d3~4/d3-format#formatDefaultLocale
Looks like you want d3-time-format here
