Localization for wind-directions in gnuplot

Hi,

I have some graphs displaying wind directions, despite I tell gnuplot to localize to "nl_NL", it uses the wind direction abbreviations of the default language (English). The X-axis displays the weekdays in the localized style, but the Y-axis (wind-directions) doesn't.

I'm using Meteohub 4.6v, which already has the Dutch localized wind-dir variables.

This is the extra cmd I use for defining the graph set title "Windrichting laatste 24 uur" font "lsans,11"|set locale "nl_NL". Do I need to add something or edit some file?

--Roel

Just for clarification: this is an example of the graph.

This is the string I'm using:

set locale "nl_NL"|set timestamp "%d.%m.%y - %H:%M" top|set key below box|set border -1 lw 2|set style line 1 lw 4|set style increment user|set y2tics mirror|set grid y2tics
