Example

When the imperial calendar is enabled, only users with a locale of “Japanese (Japan)” can see it (1).

![Comparison of calendar with Japanese or other locale when imperial calendar is enabled](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-setup-264-0-0-production-enus/6f21df35-9ea0-4f53-ac94-45c3b5dfd5bc/setup/images/calendar_comparison_imperial_cal_enabled.png)

The imperial calendar information is hidden for users with other locales (2).

Make sure that users who want to view the imperial calendar set their locale to Japanese (Japan) and their language to Japanese.
