    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"
          	}
              },

              @sdetweil said in access to config language setting:

              @strawberry-3-141 cool, thanks

              The kid knows his stuff! He’s a good guy! Matter of fact he gave me this to add to my module if it’s of any help :)

              I use this under the start: function()

                this.config.lang = this.config.lang || config.language; //automatically overrides and sets 
                   language :)      
                this.config.units = this.config.units || config.units;

                Sorry for necroing this post, but from all I’ve read so far, this came up with most relevant information and solutions.

                My question is this - is there a reason why the language change via config was never incorporated in this module?

                    @sdetweil You mentioned default calendar module, and there were talks about default clock, so my questions referred to those…

                      @justbob what do you mean language change?

                      the modules use the default translations

                      set by changing language line 33 of the config.js.sample
