      @justjim1220 the default calendar module

      the code in calendar.js does

      	// Set locale.
      		moment.updateLocale(this.config.language, this.getLocaleSpecification(this.config.timeFormat));
      

      but it doesn’t have any value for this.config.language

      as language is not in the MODULE config…
      I also want to set timezone… as the user I am helping cannot get the clock and calendar to sync time offsets

      if I copy those values to the calendar config block than they are accessible…

        All I can find is to put this in your js file:

        getTranslations: function() {
        	return {
        		en: "translations/en.json",
        		de: "translations/de.json"
        	}
        }

          for timezone:
          Add this to your defaults in the modules js: timezone: "America/Chicago"

          Then add this in the code:

           getScripts: function() {
          	return [ 
                      "moment.js", "moment-timezone.js"
                  ];
          },
          

          and this:

          var now = moment();
          	if (this.config.timezone) {
          	now.tz(this.config.timezone);
          }

            @justjim1220 no… you are not understanding me…

            how do i get the USERS config for language and timezone? not system time, etc…

            user is in Norway…

            this.config.language
            

            doesn’t exist in the calendar module… so the set locale will fail…

              @sdetweil after you add all that I posted, in your config file the use can add the timezone and language they want to use.

              {
                  module: "calendar",
                  position: "top_left",
                  config: {
                      language: "en",
                      timezone: "Norway/Oslo"
                  }
              },

                you will also need to add this to your start section:

                / /Set locale.
                moment.updateLocale(config.language, this.getLocaleSpecification(config.timeZone));

                    @sdetweil the global language is accessible like this config.language see example https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/blob/master/modules/default/clock/clock.js#L49

                    Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

                      I just did added this to the calendar config and it changed it automatically:

                          {
                              module: "calendar",
                      	position: "top_left",	// This can be any of the regions. Best results in left or right regions.
                      	config: {
                      		language: "fr",
                      		timezone: "France/Paris"
                      	}
                          },
