    I’ve found solution to correct google response for my language (czech).
    Otherwise i prefer UTF-8 encoding and this plugin in default offers ISO..
    So, instructions:

    • Open wp-google-weather.php in some editor
    • Append no line 148 to string variable xmlUrl: &ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8
    • Safe anf it’s done

    ie – input encoding
    oe – output encoding

    in wp-google-weather.php find getData() function,
    than edit $xmlUrl:
    $xmlUrl = 'https://www.google.com/ig/api?weather='.$city.'&hl='.$lang.'&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8';

    last two atribs tells google wich encoding sould to use

    it works for me

    Hi everyone! Kompulex’s solution was’t work for Polish language, but is good track.

    If anyone will have problem with PL try this:

    $xmlUrl = 'https://www.google.com/ig/api?weather='.$city.'&hl='.$lang.'&oe=ISO-8859-1';

    Great Thank You 4 Kompulex!!!
