Still inspecting the storm warning in german…

same problem here, saw meanwhile some of this warnings in german but mostly in english. Looks like a problem on the provider side, when inspecting the called url in the browser the retrieved data is in english.

So this can’t be solved by the module.

@j-e-f-f Anyway to hide the special weather advisory? Really jacks up my layout, I took a look at config but nothing stood out.
Thanks

@dkhorse74 That’s the main header… hint…

:thumbs_up: Thank You

so now i catched the situation where the alerts are in english and in german:

the data is coming directly from openweathermap, here the json-part:

@dkhorse74 that’s the main header for the module. Change it like this:

  {
    module: "MMM-OpenWeatherForecast",
    position: "top_right",
    header: "Forecast",  <— here
    config: {
      apikey: "a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8j9k0", //only string here
      latitude: 51.490230,            //number works here
      longitude: "-0.258810"          //so does a string
    }
  },

@shiryu1031 you can’t do that independently on the main units setting. OpenWeather returns mph for imperial, and m/s for standard and metric.

[j.e.f.f]

@swvalenti yes you can. The weather alerts are part of the summary section. OpenWeather returns such a short summary that I didn’t think it necessary to make two separate configure. Two ways to turn off the alerts:

• set summary : false
• if you want the summary but not the alerts, you can hide them in your custom css as follows:

.MMM-OpenWeatherForecast .weather-alert {
  display: none;
}

I think I’ll look at a way to truncate weather alerts so they don’t take up so much space.

@karsten13 I don’t think there is much I can do here. I’ve coded this module to explicitly pass through a language parameter, either whatever is set in your main MM config, or whatever you explicitly set in the module’s config. It seems that OpenWeather doesn’t translate the weather alert, but merely passes them on as-is from whatever source it gets them from. Which is why sometimes you’re getting only English, and other times you’re getting multiple translations.

Awesome thanks @j-e-f-f !
