Question

Hi, I am using expressjs for a backend service where I need to set the locale for momentjs based on a custom browser. Im looking for any moment/locale/{locale-file based}expressjs based download strategies request.acceptsLanguages.

Any help is appreciated

You can simply use the function .locale()after parsing the correct language from the query (but you at least sent the language header)

const moment = require('moment');
const language = getLanguageFromRequest(req); // or whatever logic you like
moment.locale(language);

but it might be better to handle it in a browser rather than in a backend.
