| Using Multi-lingual text in FusionCharts |
|
FusionCharts allows you to use multi-lingual (UTF-8) characters on the charts. Shown below is an example where we've used Arabic names on the chart: |
![]() |
You can use multi-lingual characters in all the charts in FusionCharts v3 suite. However, any rotated text on chart cannot show non-English characters. That is, if you want to use multi-lingual characters, you'll need to show horizontal x-axis labels and y-axis name (using <chart rotateYAxisName='0' ..>). FusionCharts supports only left-to-right languages as of now. It doesn't have native support for right-to-left languages like Hebrew. So, if you want to use Hebrew with FusionCharts, you'll have to programatically change the text sequence and then provide the data to FusionCharts. |
| How to use multi-lingual characters? |
To use multi-lingual characters on the chart, you necessarily need to use dataURL method. dataXML method would give "Invalid XML" error when using multi-lingual characters on certain occasions. If you're using a physical XML file, make sure it's saved in UTF-8 format. |
