Android App (WeatherView) for Current Weather and WXSIM Forecast

[edje1205]

Thanks Rob ! That did the trick     
very happy with it !!


One question left to go:
where can I get the dutch translation file !   

[Welly]

The translation is hard coded into the app. If your phone is set to the locale "nl" then it will use the translation file automaitcally.
Is yours still in English?

[edje1205]

Phone in dutch;
WeatherViewer set up page in dutch

Current conditions in dutch (for exmpl:huidige omstandigheden; koel;voelt als ) but also: 'No Sigam Clouds; Steady;  Waxxing Gibbous Moon' and whole forecast in english !


If needing translation my offer still exists.....
 

[Welly]

You can change the forecast text by changinh the default language in plaintext parser from en to nl.

Line 128:
$lang = 'en';

change to
$lang = 'nl';

Also make sure you have the translation file in the same folder as plaintext parser (plaintext-parser-lang-nl.txt).

Regarding the Moon phase and barometer, they are got from the Weather Display tag file:

http://www.weersverwachtingen.eu/WeatherViewTags.xml

As you can see some tags have been translated by Weather Display and some have not. Do these tags show on your web site translated or are they in English too?

in fact 3 words are not translated :
at barometer: Steady, clear
at Maanfase:Wax Gibbous Moon
Conditions: Partly Cloudy

Cloudheight (Wolkenbasis) in ft (in stead of meters)

in language-nl.txt I have:

langlookup|Partly cloudy|Gedeeltelijk bewolkt

and

langlookup|Steady Clear|Bestendig Helder|
langlookup|Clear|Helder|
langlookup|Steady|Bestendig|

Is this to much ?
(How) are the words split off ?

[Welly]

The moon phases and pressure trends would not be too much of a problem, but the sky conditions, certainly in my weather Display set up, are got from metar descriptions. There seem to be an awful lot of variations to the description. Is there a definitive list?

[edje1205]

Hm should be a question for Brian 

In the meanwhile a leave it as it is; thanks for paying attention, Rob.

Hi Guys

I've been working of a few ammendments to WeatherView:
1. Moon Phase translations - into Dutch
2. Tablet layout fixes - A slight fix for tablet layout where first part of forecast is missing due to the layout being centered.
3. Auto forecast translation - if the site has a translation to the user's phone language, then the forecast is translated. i.e. if a Dutch user looks at the forecast for Wellington Weather, it will now be displayed in Dutch, not English. i eventually want to get a full translation for the site (except metar sky conditions ).

Can I ask for someone to check and translate a few into Dutch for me please:

               <string name="newMoon">Nieuwe maan</string>
   <string name="waxingCrescent">Wassende maan</string>
   <string name="firstQuarter">Eerste kwartier</string>
   <string name="waxingGibbous">Wassende maan</string>
   <string name="fullMoon">Volle maan</string>
   <string name="waningGibbous">Afnemende maan</string>
   <string name="lastQuarter">Laatste kwartier</string>
   <string name="waningCrescent">Afnemende maan</string>
   <string name="steady">Steady</string>
   <string name="rising">Rising</string>
   <string name="risingS">Rising Slowly</string>
   <string name="risingR">Rising Rapidly</string>
   <string name="falling">Falling</string>
   <string name="fallingS">Falling Slowly</string>
   <string name="fallingR">Falling Rapidly</string>

Sorry for the formatting, but you should be able to see what needs checking/changing.

Cheers
Rob

Hi Rob,

To start with the moon translations.
A bit tricky for me as i have no good translations for Waxing and Waning Gibbous.
I also Googled and that came up with 2 translations.
waxingGibbous - Wassende (bijna volle) maan
waningGibbous - Afnemende (volle) maan

Code: [Select]

   <string name="newMoon">Nieuwe maan</string>
   <string name="waxingCrescent">Wassende maan</string>
   <string name="firstQuarter">Eerste kwartier</string>
   <string name="waxingGibbous">Wassende (bijna volle) maan</string>
   <string name="fullMoon">Volle maan</string>
   <string name="waningGibbous">Afnemende (volle) maan</string>
   <string name="lastQuarter">Laatste kwartier</string>
   <string name="waningCrescent">Afnemende maan</string>

Code: [Select]

   <string name="steady">Constant</string>
   <string name="rising">Stijgend</string>
   <string name="risingS">Langzaam stijgend</string>
   <string name="risingR">Snel stijgend</string>
   <string name="falling">Dalend</string>
   <string name="fallingS">Langzaam dalend</string>
   <string name="fallingR">Snel dalend</string>
Thank you for fixing the forecast and all of your work.
If other dutch users have a better translation for the moonphases, please reply.

[Welly]

I've just uploaded a new version for WeatherView Elite and WeatherView Free.

Can Elite users make sure the plaintext parser language files are installed correctly for forecast translations to work.

Update includes:

Translation updates for Dutch Users:
The App will now display forecasts from other sites in the Dutch(nl) Language.

Also includes minor fixes for Tablet layouts.

If you wish to have WeatherView translated into your language (both Elite or Free), please email welly@wellingtonweather.co.uk to get more details or use the attached new excel spreadsheet.

The language updated file requires about 122 translations. Once I have added them to the app, the forecast is also translated.
At the moment only English(en) and Dutch(nl) have been translated within the app.

Thanks
Rob

Hi Rob,

Looks good except "Full moon this month", we are still in April, says May 6th.

[Welly]

Yes, the tag gives "the full moon for this lunar cycle" which is not great, but it's the only one I can see giving just the date of the full moon and not the time. I did used to have it say "next full moon" but the tag would still say May 6th even on May 7th. The only real way I could see would be to have a tag "the date of the next full moon" but this would have to be something that Brian would write into Weather Display.

[Welly]

Brian is kindly adding a new tag to the latest version of Weather Display to give the date of the next full moon. To this end I'm releasing a new version with a couple of translation changes to reflect this.

The next full moon translated into Dutch: "De volgende Volle Maan"
and translated into Spanish: "La próxima Luna Llena"

I've used google translate to get the above so I may be not quite right. Can anyone give feedback?

I've also noticed there is a small issue with the plaintext language files giving odd unsupported characters. This is because some of the files are encoded in ANSI and not UTF-8. Please make sure that you convert all the language files to UTF-8 (with signiture) for the forecast translations to display correctly.

If anyone wants me to email them, I'll gladly do so, or you can use notepad2 or notepad++ to resave them yourself.

Finally I've included an updated WeatherViewTags.txt file, within the update, to include the new tag, but it would be far easier for you to edit line 18 to: <fullmoon>%nextfullmoondate%</fullmoon> once you have installed Weather Display build 23.

I'll hold off publishing WeatherView version 2.12 until the new tag is ready and the translations have been ok'd by someone.

Cheers
Rob

Next Full Moon=Volgende Volle Maan

Thanks Rob

[Welly]

Finally got the next update finished.

The next full moon should now be displayed correctly.

I've added the new tag kindly provided by Brian in his latest release and added an "If the current date is past the full moon date then display the next month full moon date instead".

I've also ammended the new station login screen to make it flow a little better and trimmed the metar conditions - anything after a ; is ignored i.e. " towering cumulonimbus clouds observed".

Hopefully all the app should be translated into Dutch and Spanish apart from the Metar conditions.

Thanks to all those who assisted in the translations.

Regards
Rob
