Why are holidays in calendar app in the wrong language?

[Oriax]

Why are my national holidays in the samsung calendar app displayed in english when my calendar app is not. My google account's main language is not english, my phone's language is not english, and the rest of the calendar app is not english, it's just the automatically added holidays. It's been annoying me for a while, and I haven't been able to find a sollution.

Where are the holidays stored? Samsung Calendar itself doesn't have holidays; something added to your calendar is showing them. Google and Outlook add holidays to Samsung Calendar. Press the three lines in the top left of the calendar, scroll down, and see which services are adding events.

@Oriax: If you haven't done so already, I recommend downloading the Google Calendar app from the Google Play Store, then follow the steps below. 

Open the Google Calendar app > Tap the 3 lines in the top left > Settings > Holidays > National Holidays > Uncheck any selected countries/regions > OK

Alternatively, tap the box to the left of 'Holidays' to remove all holidays from the Calendar. 

You can also sign in to your Google account via a browser app > Open the Google Calendar > On the left, under 'Other calendars', uncheck 'Holidays'

I want the holidays in my calendar, but I want them in the right language like the rest of my phone.

@Oriax: Apologies for the confusion. If you head to Settings > General management > App languages > Google (or Google Calendar, if applicable), is your preferred language selected here?

It was a weird syncing issue between google calendar and samsung calendar app. Thanks
