libmateweather is a libgnomeweather fork. libmateweather is a library to access weather information from online services for numerous locations. libmateweather isn't supported in the devel platform, which means OS vendors won't guarantee the API/ABI long-term, but authors of open source apps should feel free to use libmateweather as users can always recompile against a new version. To use libmateweather in your code, you need to define the MATEWEATHER_I_KNOW_THIS_IS_UNSTABLE preprecessor symbol, e.g. by adding -DMATEWEATHER_I_KNOW_THIS_IS_UNSTABLE to your CFLAGS. HOW TO TRANSLATE THE DEFAULT LOCATION DATA ------------------------------------------ To translate the default location, enter the data for the largest city on your locale as folows: (Location Data for en_US.UTF-8: «Washington, D.C, US») msgid "'DEFAULT_LOCATION'" msgstr "'Washington'" msgid "'DEFAULT_CODE'" msgstr "'KOCW'" msgid "'DEFAULT_ZONE'" msgstr "'America/New_York'" msgid "'DEFAULT_RADAR'" msgstr "' '" msgid "'DEFAULT_COORDINATES'" msgstr "'35.570557 -77.049721'" You can retrieve the required data if you have set your location on the clock panel applet: $ dconf read /org/mate/panel/objects/clock/prefs/cities ['']
