I was so focused on lines below line 39 (modules), that I completely skipped the ones above as I considered them to be mere comments… :man_facepalming_light_skin_tone:

the modules use the default translations

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

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

@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;

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"
	}
    },

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

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

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

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…

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);
}

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

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

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…

Which calendar module are you referring to?

NVM, I just tried it and it di not work.

Other than that, have you tried language = this.language

	port: 8086,
	ipWhitelist: [], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
	               // or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :
	               // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.5"],
	               // or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :
	               // ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.3.0/28"],

	language: "en",  < ------------ this value
	timeFormat: 12,
  timezone: "Europe/Oslo",
	units: "imperial",

the calendar code uses this value, BUT doesn’t get it config.language is not set (cause config comes from the module block)
