        My best guess: "MagicMirror/translations/translations.js"

          @justjim1220 no… that is available translations… I mean the value in config.js

          	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)

            from what I can tell, modules containing the ability to change the language have their own translations folder.

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

                Which calendar module are you referring to?

                  @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…
