GENERIC_TIMEZONE |
* | America/New_York |
The n8n instance timezone. Important for schedule nodes (such as Cron). |
N8N_DEFAULT_LOCALE |
String | en |
A locale identifier, compatible with the Accept-Language header{:target="_blank" .external-link}. n8n doesn't support regional identifiers, such as de-AT. When running in a locale other than the default, n8n displays UI strings in the selected locale, and falls back to en for any untranslated strings. |
