Highcharts exporting.js change menu hover title text

I am using highcharts and I've added exporting.js so I can export data.

This makes a menu appear which has a title of "Chart context menu".

See image attached:

enter image description here

You can also see it here: 

$(function () {
    Highcharts.chart('container', {

        chart: {
            type: 'column'
        },

        title: {
            text: 'Total fruit consumtion, grouped by gender'
        },

        xAxis: {
            categories: ['Apples', 'Oranges', 'Pears', 'Grapes', 'Bananas']
        },

        yAxis: {
            allowDecimals: false,
            min: 0,
            title: {
                text: 'Number of fruits'
            }
        },

        tooltip: {
            formatter: function () {
                return '<b>' + this.x + '</b><br/>' +
                    this.series.name + ': ' + this.y + '<br/>' +
                    'Total: ' + this.point.stackTotal;
            }
        },

        plotOptions: {
            column: {
                stacking: 'normal'
            }
        },

        series: [{
            name: 'John',
            data: [5, 3, 4, 7, 2],
            stack: 'male'
        }, {
            name: 'Joe',
            data: [3, 4, 4, 2, 5],
            stack: 'male'
        }, {
            name: 'Jane',
            data: [2, 5, 6, 2, 1],
            stack: 'female'
        }, {
            name: 'Janet',
            data: [3, 0, 4, 4, 3],
            stack: 'female'
        }]
    });
});

My question is..How can I change the title text so it says something else?

Actually, there is an option to change the title via API but you need to set it in the global options - lang.contextMenuTitle

Highcharts.setOptions({
  lang: {
    contextButtonTitle: 'custom text'
  }
});

According to the documentation there is currently no option to do that - details of the available options are listed here. But you can always use jQuery:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("g.highcharts-contextbutton > title").text("Something else");
});

Working fiddle.
