How to translate highchart World Maps TopoJSON

I'm trying to find out if there is an easy way to translate the TopoJSON maps (as found on the link below).
https://code.highcharts.com/mapdata/

As I understand it, the only way to 'translate' these maps is to manually change the country names in the JSON file. Is there not a simpler way to do this? If so, please could someone let me know...

Many thanks

Hi titus!
Welcome to our forum and thanks for contacting us with your question!

Unfortunately, there is no simple way that translates every property into proper language. As you said you can change it manually in the JSON file or you can change it in chart configuration like in the demo below, but you have to translate words manually.

Demo: https://jsfiddle.net/BlackLabel/mvo1q5Ls/

If you want, you can make a feature request here: https://github.com/highcharts/map-colle ... ist/issues and if users will vote for your request this feature will be implemented in Highcharts Maps.

Feel free to ask any further questions!
Best regards!
