          @FediFollows @admin @stefano the project is wrongly assuming that there's only one language spoken in a given country. Is there a plan to fix that?

            Actually, for some countries with multiple official languages (for example, Canada) I’ve already added the information in both languages. Handling more than two would become difficult, if not impossible, with the current infrastructure. Which country (and which languages) would you suggest adjusting?

              @admin @FediFollows @stefano Spain would need Catalan for cities in Catalonia/Valencia/Balearic islands, Galician for Galicia and Basque for the Basque Country. That's why I say that tying language to the country level is not ideal.

                Yes, I know that Spain (and other countries, too) has more languages. When in doubt (for example, Switzerland) I used English. I thought that Spanish could be acceptable for all people there, but it seems I was wrong.

                      @FediFollows @admin @stefano For Brussels the interleaving of French and Dutch in the same line is a little clunky.

                      I'd suggest either

                      a) having an entire report in one language, followed by a ========== divider line, followed by the other language,

                      or b) doubling up the feed into @bruxelles (fr) and @brussel@be.fedimeteo.com (nl).

                      Otherwise, thanks for implementing this!

                                            The problem is probably this: nobody in your instance is following that city, so it hasn't received any updates for a long time. Just start following the city and, every 6 hours, you should receive the forecasts. Let me know if you still can't see the updates after some hours.

                                                Interesting! Thank you for pointing it out. The reason is this:
                                                • in Australia was already 3/12 so the forecasts have been pushed with the right date but the web interface is using the webserver's timezone (CET) so it was already the 2/12. So the local timeline (that is: if you subscribe to the city) is ok but the website's date is off. I'm not sure this can be fixed, but I'll try to understand with the snac author (the platform FediMeteo uses)

                                                  On my phone, it just presents as a dense, incomprehensible wall of text.

                                                  Do I need two different windspeed measurements? Yet nothing to show whether temperatures are in °C or °F.

                                                  Compared to a WillyWeather graph, where I can see at a glance if I can go for a bicycle ride around the lake before the rain/wind/storm hits, fedimeteo is just of no use to me. 😥

                                                        6 Hours is good enough to keep people informed on the general weather trend in a given area.

                                                        It is amazing that no one checks their local radar when the conditions are nice, but when there is a storm in the area, then the servers get crushed.

                                                        People forget that the radar results they see are not realtime, typically 15 minutes behind, but they want to see if they are about to get hit by the storm.

                                                        That would be a good time to go outside and look.

                                                        That is the best realtime result you can get.

I can't provide them in multiple languages (except for bilingual countries) as it's a Fediverse platform, not a "normal" website. But I've added the emojis to simplify the reading for non native speakers.

ActivityPub actually supports multilingual objects (via contentMap), so if the software is custom you can probably generate them, although it remains to be seen how Mastodon interprets them.

He has of course written everything in a modular and scalable manner, but that does not make the work any less.
