Support for different languages

[muzzwood]

Describe the solution you'd like
Would love to see the results returned in different languages.

An example could be:
https://weatherdbi.herokuapp.com/data/weather/fr/newyork
or
https://weatherdbi.herokuapp.com/data/weather/newyork?lang=fr

This is a very good suggestion that will be worked on. I would like to know what problem does it solve?

Currently work is in progress for temperature, precipitation and wind forecast. Also we have to move the API to a new hosting because of some problems (mentioned in other issues). So, the language feature may not be added soon.

Hi,

I've used your API endpoint for a weather widget on a CMS dashboard. The problem is the CMS can be in any language and it doesn't make sense for the weather data to be in English if everything else isn't.
I think this is the only extra feature we need.
So in the meantime, I might make it work with openweather as well for multilingual situations. Your API is preferable though due to not needing authentication.

Keep up the good work! :)

You can leave your email in the contact form in our website, if you wish to be informed when there is a new release. I received your message there, but you didn't provide any email. It is totally up to you, not compulsory. 🙂

There are some very good translation API's out there that I might encourage you to work with, @muzzwood. This way you're still using the same dataset and translating it as needed, on-demand. Rather than the whole API being restructured to support it. But certainly at some point I'm sure multiple language support build in native to the API would be a great feature. Meanwhile, I might recommend a translation API. Especially considering it's just a few words, not long and complicated phrases.

@rogadev I will look into it. Thanks for sharing your suggestion.
