Description

## Page

[Documentation/Contributing](https://docs.soliditylang.org/en/latest/contributing.html)

## Abstract

The documentation currently mentions:

>Community calls are held on Wednesdays at 3PM CET/CEST.

This can be confusing for contributors outside Central Europe who must manually convert the time to their local timezone.

**Proposal:**
Automatically detect the user’s local timezone and **show the equivalent local time** next to the CET/CEST time. Optionally, provide a manual override for edge cases.

Example:

>Community calls are held on Wednesdays at 3PM CET/CEST — Your local time: Wednesday, 6:30PM Asia/Kolkata

This change will improve accessibility for contributors worldwide and remove the need for manual time conversion.
## Pull request

I haven’t started coding yet — opening this issue first to confirm maintainers are okay with this enhancement. Once approved, I will implement it as a small JS addition to the docs.

Research direction

Start with the Documentation/Contributing page linked in the issue and inspect how JavaScript is integrated into the documentation. Confirm how the existing CET/CEST time is presented and whether a manual override is needed. Done means contributors can see an equivalent local time, with the original time remaining clear.
