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...

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.

      This is not a solution as the main issue of setting a custom locale within the notebook has not been addressed.
