lang.locale

The browser locale to use for date and number formatting. The actual locale used for each chart is determined in three steps:

If this lang.locale option is specified, it is used.
Else, look for the closest ancestor HTML element with a lang attribute, typically the <html> element.
If no 'lang' attribute is found, use the default browser locale.

Use en-GB, British English, for approximate consistency with Highcharts v < 12.
