Fabric Notebook Locale Setting

I was able to run this code:   locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME,"es_ES") before. But now the locale string is unsupported. Is there any way I can change the locale for a Notebook session. This help...

HimanshuS-msft do you have an update on this ? I would like to test it out with some Notebooks we depend on, now that we are nearing the end of the year.

    Hi HimanshuS-msft 

    Sadly, this doesn't work as the purpose of changing the locale is to use pandas or pandas on Spark to create a Calendar with the proper Weekday names and Month names in Spanish without resorting to a replace as we add more variations of these names.

    df['date'].dt.strftime("%a")
    will not output the desired weekday abbreviated name

        I managed to do this entirely using a locale format with Spark, foregoing Pandas usage. While the workaround was functional, the issue of not being able to set my own locale outside of Spark configs is not ideal.
