UNSOLVED Language problems with standard modules and pm2

Kevinho195

Hi,
I have an issue with the standard modules (calendar, Weather forecast and News). In my config I set german as my default language, but those modules do Not respect the Language and are displayed in english. And this is only happening if I Start MM with PM2. If I Start MM by executing my mm.sh file without Pm2 the Language is displayed correct in the mirror for those modules.
And I figured out That this language issue is only happening on my Smart mirror Display. If I login via MMM Remote Control and Display the screen on my phone or notebook the language of those modules is correct!
Has anyone an idea what might cause this issue on my mirror screen?

@Kevinho195 do

pm2 show 0

What does pm2 execute to start?
It should be mm.sh

 Add your own code metrics: http://bit.ly/code-metrics
 Use `pm2 logs mm [--lines 1000]` to display logs
 Use `pm2 env 0` to display environment variables
 Use `pm2 monit` to monitor CPU and Memory usage mm

/home/pi/mm.sh

the scripted install uses the script ~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh

Kevinho195

@sdetweil if I run this file manually the language settings are correct. If pm2 runs the file it changes from german to english after 2 seconds.

sdetweil

@Kevinho195 i would guess that the locale is not set in the pm2 environment…

see the output of

pm2 env 0

@sdetweil how can I change the LANG to DE?

looks like you will have to delete and add th app to pm2 with the environment set correctly

https://doc.pm2.io/en/runtime/best-practices/environment-variables/

so

pm2 delete 0

make sure your environment is right now, with LANG= properly set
then look at pm2_MagicMirror.json, you may be able to add the env info there too

then

pm2 start installers/pm2_MagicMirror.json
pm2 save

@sdetweil thanks! You made my day:)
