2 issues on Weather alerts: multiple (same) alert and translation (french only?) #238

Open ldmpub opened 3 years ago

ldmpub commented 3 years ago

Hi,

Please find attached a screenshot of the app where you can notice 2 strange behaviors on Weather alerts:

  1. the same "text alert" is displayed 3 times (only "alert's title changes")
  2. there is a big space in the middle of sentences (at least in french) + I can not find these strings in translation files: GeometricWeather/app/src/main/res/values-fr/...

Thanks for your help 🕵️‍♂️

Duplicate of #234

@papjul: many thanks for your answer (*) => it's now clearly established that Météo France is the provider of these texts and their job is far from being perfect if they produce it in "one block" with so many errors!

Do you know from which Météo France web page these infos are coming? I will ask Météo France to perform some changes 😉. Do you know why the App pushes these 3 warnings at the same time?

(*) I made a search in Github issues with "alert" word instead of "warning" used in issue #234.

It's from their API, so please don't contact them unless you have a legit access to their API. There is probably some way to have access to it as part of open data but I couldn't find it and their API documentation website is always down… (btw, if someone knows how to do it, I would be happy to comply).

Maybe you can have a look at their bloated Android app, check if they display the warning description in it, and report them a screenshot of their app instead.

Do you know why the App pushes these 3 warnings at the same time?

Why couldn't they? "Crues", " Orages" and "Vent fort" usually go together, especially when it's a yellow warning.
