Changing language using shortcode parameters

At this time there is no way to do that. I have added it to my list of things to add. You can modify the plugin directly if you are comfortable doing so.

On line 94 of awesome-weather.php in the plugin folder you can add the following:

$locale = "fr";

And use the language code that you need there.
Hope this helps for now.

Thank you, Hal,

added line will last only until the next plugin update I suppose?

Yes, I will make sure the next release has a parameter to override the locale!

I’m having the same problem, my site is in 4 languages so I’d like the weather in each of those 4. Is modifying the plugin directly the only way to do this, if I’ve understood your previous reply correctly? I’m a complete novice to all this!

[resolved] – Just change the general website’s language to the desire one after awesome-weather.php files modification and you will be all set.
Hello Hal,
first of all I would like to thank you for this awesome plugin.
I am setting up a website and I need the weather to be in German language. As you suggest above I edit the $locale variable in awesome-weather.php file to
$locale = “de”;

The problem here is that the output is still in English.
Am I missing something here?
Thnx in advance, StamyO

Hi Hal and congrats for your plugin…

A question:

I edited the awesome-weather.php as you say with the ‘el’ locale and i added it in the $available_locales array cause it was missing. I checked in the languages folder tha el po exists….and everything seems ok… but the language in not changing!

Do i miss somethning?

First – thank you for a great plugin!!!
I am setting up a website and I need the weather to be in Thailand language!!
you can help me, please!

Hi Hal,

I am very glad with your beautiful – sorry awesome – weather plug in. Have a look at https://www.villabalibreeze.de. I only wonder why only part of the widget is in German. I am a newbie in WordPress, but how/where can I add/change $locale = “de”; Do I need ftp to do that?

Thanks,
Ton

Hi @tintveld,
I think your WordPress installation needs to be set to German in order to bring in the other translations. The setting is located in ‘Settings’ -> ‘General’

Thanks for your fast reply Hal.
I already did set the language in Settings in German.

ok great, have you also setup the WPLANG variable in wp-config.php

I just checked the translation file and it has been translated, so we just need to figure out why it’s not being used by WordPress.

Well. My problem is that I don’t know how to change those files. That’s why I asked if I needed FTP to do that. By the way: the only language used in this site is German.

In the general settings of my theme X is told that I don’t need to change the WPLANG anymore.
