# Localization - Taiwan (Year Offset)

Along with the locale customization parameters covered in the Japanese and German calendar examples, Calendar also supports the ability to set a year offset (from the Gregorian year), which can be used to support locales such as Taiwan (zh-TW), for which the year is 1911 years behind the Gregorian year. This example demonstrates how the year offset field can be used to create a Calendar for the zh-TW locale.
