access to config language setting

@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]

@justbob what module? this was a general question, not tied to any module

[justbob]

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

[sdetweil]

@justbob what do you mean language change?

the modules use the default translations

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

@sdetweil OMG, you are right, thank you for pointing out the line!:man_bowing:

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:

@justbob everything ABOVE modules applies to all , its the overall environment

@sdetweil I am aware of that, but somehow I just ignored it as I was “on auto-pilot”. :grinning_face_with_sweat:
