Answer 1

As of version 0.5.0 of highcharter, it seems the option highcharter.options is not there any more, but there are several separate options, e.g. highcharter.lang, highcharter.global, etc. So the following approach works:

lang <- getOption("highcharter.lang")
lang$decimalPoint <- ","
lang$numericSymbols <- highcharter::JS("null") # optional: remove the SI prefixes
options(highcharter.lang = lang)

In addition to changing the decimal point, the SI prefixes ("k", "M", "G", etc.) are turned off by setting the numericSymbols to null, see Replacing/removing the metric notations like thousands "k" abbreviation.
