# Locale

You can tailor the calendar for certain languages (aka "locales"). The [locale](locale.md) setting it the most important, as it sets the defaults of many other options at the same time.

## Articles

- [locale](locale.md) - The locale and locales options allow you to localize certain aspects of the calendar:
- [direction](direction.md) - The direction that elements in the calendar are rendered. Either left-to-right or right-to-left.
- [firstDay](firstDay.md) - The day that each week begins.
