How do I change the language of the checkout form in Stripe?

Question

I have noticed that with the Stripe checkout form, the language seems to be fixed in English.

Is there a way for me to change this language to, for example, Spanish, Japanese or Chinese?

I'm currently using the default form code on the Stripe documentation:

<form action="/charge" method="POST">
  <script
    src="https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js" class="stripe-button"
    data-key="pk_test_variable_here"
    data-image="/img/documentation/checkout/marketplace.png"
    data-name="My Company Pty Ltd"
    data-description="2 widgets"
    data-currency="aud"
    data-amount="2000">
  </script>
</form>

EDIT: Updating the answer since it's the accepted one to make sure it's visible.

Stripe released a feature that allows you to have Stripe Checkout display in other languages automatically.

The easiest solution is to pass data-locale="auto"to display Checkout in the user's preferred language, if available. English will be used by default. You can also force a specific locale in data-locale as long as it's one officially supported by Stripe.

It should be noted that this does not change the label of the pay button that still says "Pay with Card". – Avatar Mar 08 '18 at 07:05

Late answer but I think it can help someone. Add line: data-locale: "language" to your script. Example:

<form action="/charge" method="POST">
  <script
    src="https://checkout.stripe.com/checkout.js" class="stripe-button"
    data-key="pk_test_variable_here"
    data-locale="fr"
    data-image="/img/documentation/checkout/marketplace.png"
    data-name="My Company Pty Ltd"
    data-description="2 widgets"
    data-currency="aud"
    data-amount="2000">
  </script>
</form>

Stripe released a new version of Checkout last year which does language localization automatically based on the browser's locale setting. You can also manually override this behavior by passing in a locale when creating a Checkout Session.

You can use "locale" parameter to change the language of the checkout on Stripe.
