Global config

Option	Default	Description
locale	undefined	By default it is using your system settings. You can specify the locale in the global MagicMirror config. Possible values are for e.g.: 'en-US' or 'de-DE'.

To set a global config you have to set the value in your config.js file inside the MagicMirror project.
