</div>Hi Mark,<br>
<br>
I'm one of the maintainers of the KHolidays library which provides the holiday<br>
events throughout KDE, and sometimes contributor to the plasma clock/calendar.<br>
<br>
You can find some information about KHolidays at<br>
<a href="http://community.kde.org/KDE_PIM/KHolidays" target="_blank">http://community.kde.org/KDE_PIM/KHolidays</a> , in particular some details about<br>
plans for a new version of the file format and library that should be more<br>
flexible and portable and easier to contribute to. Ideally the data files<br>
would be a cross-desktop effort.<br>
<br>
You can also find some more details in the slides for a talk I gave at the<br>
last Desktop Summit. Sadly no video survived :-) See<br>

calendar-systems-and-holidays" target="_blank">https://www.desktopsummit.org/program/sessions/defining-common-standards-<br>
calendar-systems-and-holidays</a><br>
<br>
It could be an interesting GSoC project to try implement the new file format<br>
and library, but I'm not sure I can mentor it, I tried last year and made a<br>
hash of it, and I'm unlikely to have enough time this year either.<br>
<br>
It does sound like there are some problems with your config, Holidays in the<br>
Plasma Clock do seem to work correctly for most people now. Perhaps find and<br>
delete the config file for the clock? Or try it in a new user to see if it is<br>
broken there?<br>
<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Well, i found that one. My system was set at en_us for the locale. I switched it to dutch. That works fine for the calendar.</div><div>However, now some applications are displayed in dutch as well and that's not what i wanted. I somehow want to let my system know i'm in the Netherlands, but want to have the english language.</div>
