With the new weather plugin feature of XBMC you can have your weather window display more info.

Skinners can determine if a plugin is selected by using the infolabel "Weather.Plugin". eg <visible>!IsEmpty(Weather.Plugin)</visible>, thanks spiff

Here is a plugin that adds the above info. Until script settings is added you are stuck with babelfish translating if available and the three map categories. available in the addons svn.

Here is a link to the files for PMIII (not finished, but you can get ideas, won't look exactly as the below pictures): http://xbmc-addons.googlecode.com/svn/pa...eather.zip

I tried to localize as much as possible. let me know if anything is missing (temperature and wind speed in forecasts is not converted). Skinners let me know if it would better to localize from skin or XBMC wher i localize from script. if skinners are going to localize headings (where possible) i will remove Heading properties.

It currently translates some text with strings.xml files (script/skin/XBMC). The forecast, outlook and wind uses babelfish.yahoo.com. babelfish only works for certain languages.
"Chinese (Simple)": "en_zh",
"Chinese (Traditional)": "en_zt",
"Dutch": "en_nl",
"French": "en_fr",
"German": "en_de",
"German (Austria)": "en_de",
"Greek": "en_el",
"Italian": "en_it",
"Japanese": "en_ja",
"Korean": "en_ko",
"Portuguese": "en_pt",
"Portuguese (Brazil)": "en_pt",
"Russian": "en_ru",
"Spanish": "en_es",
"Spanish (Mexico)": "en_es",

Any weather plugin can set any property. There are no restrictions, but for skinners it would be better to have some standards. Since this is the first I will set some .

I may have missed some.
