Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
`marchyo.timezone`	`string`	`"Europe/Zurich"`	System timezone
`marchyo.defaultLocale`	`string`	`"en_US.UTF-8"`	System default locale
`marchyo.language`	`enum`	derived from `marchyo.defaultLocale`	Display language of the Marchyo shell and CLI strings
`marchyo.autoTimezone.enable`	`bool`	`false`	Update the timezone automatically from your location

Example

{
  marchyo.timezone = "America/New_York";
  marchyo.defaultLocale = "de_DE.UTF-8";
}

Display language

marchyo.language sets the language of Marchyo’s own UI: the shell panels and the marchyo CLI messages. Only English ("en") ships today, so it is the only accepted value and the default; the option and the shell/i18n catalog layer stay in place so translations can be added later. Once more catalogs exist, the default follows marchyo.defaultLocale (an exact locale match first, then the bare language) and falls back to "en"; strings without a translation show in English.

{
  marchyo.defaultLocale = "fi_FI.UTF-8"; # system LANG; the Marchyo UI stays English
  marchyo.language = "en"; # optional, the only shipped language
}

The system LANG changes only when you rebuild. marchyo language changes the Marchyo UI live, without a rebuild:

marchyo language          # show the current language
marchyo language list     # list the supported codes
marchyo language en       # switch the shell and CLI to a listed language
marchyo language --revert # back to marchyo.language

The command stores a runtime override that survives rebuilds and marchyo runtime restore; --revert drops it. Other programs keep following LANG.

Automatic timezone

marchyo.autoTimezone.enable is opt-in and off by default. When enabled, it turns on services.automatic-timezoned (a geoclue2-based daemon) to keep the system timezone current based on your location:

{
  marchyo.autoTimezone.enable = true;
}
