Language question #161

Closed exrabies closed 3 years ago

exrabies commented 3 years ago

How or where do I install an alternative language? Can't find it anywhere in the description of this plugin (which is amazing btw ;-).

Homebridge running on Rasperry Pi buster.

Hello,

You can change the language in your config file, just below « locationcity ». Or in the settings plugins below the coordinates.

Bye

Thanx for the ultra quick reply. I'll try to explain my situation, and rephrase the question. I'm using HomeKit and HomeBridge to 'automate' a holiday home we rent out. We have English, French and Dutch customers. I'm looking for a way to address these customers in their own language. This specific plugin is very useful, but translation looks a bit half ways. Some parts of the interface remain in English. Hence my question. Can I, as a user, change the language of the interface (more than the added language files can).

I think you wont be able to get much more because the language you set into the JSON or in the plugin is coming from the API so basically homebridge-weather-plus is simply showing you what they received from openweathermap. you can still code something yourself.

This is my guess after looking a bit deeper into the code to try to fix my issue.

Yes the language option currently affects only the weather description. If I find the time, I might add translations for the labels.

You can check the progress of localisation here: https://github.com/naofireblade/homebridge-weather-plus/issues/50 Currently I have no free time for that issue :/ .
