Translate condition #10

Is possible translate the condition on eve app? In Italian is still "clear". It's a "issue" of this plugin or of fakegato?

HomeKit accessories have no clue about localisation. The HAP protocol doesn't expose the localisation of the device running the HomeKit app to the accessory. Accessories report standardised values; it's up to the HomeKit app to localise these. E.g. temperature is always reported in °C; HomeKit apps translate this to °F.
Consequently, I will not support localisation in any of my plugins.

The custom Condition characteristic used by Eve holds a text value. I have no idea if Eve interprets this value, showing it in local language. Worse, I have no idea where Eve got this characteristic from - it doesn't appear to be defined by Eve themselves and afaik none of the Eve accessories expose it.
Currently, I simply copy the value received from OpenWeatherMap. If you can figure out what standard values Eve expects, I'm more than happy to map the OpenWeatherMap values to these.

In "https://github.com/naofireblade/homebridge-weather-plus" you can translate the condition on Eve App, but this tool does not work correctly

Looks like they translate the condition server side. As mentioned before: I'm not going to do that.
