```

## Attributes

The `Localization` element has the following optional attributes:

`timeZone`

:   An [IANA time zone identifier](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones), such as `Asia/Seoul`,
    `Europe/London`, or `America/Los_Angeles`.

    A value of `SYNC_TO_DEVICE` indicates that the expression should use the Wear
    OS device's current time zone.

`calendar`

:   An [ICU-supported world calendar](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/icu/util/Calendar) format. The default is `GREGORIAN`, which
    represents the Gregorian calendar.

`locales`

:   A space-separated list of [locale](https://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Locale) strings. If one of the listed locales
    matches the system locale, this is used; otherwise, the first available locale
    from the list is used. Defaults to the system locale.
