Support language

[luckydonald]

Under the Docs for v2 is an lang= Option.
It would be nice to see this implemented as something like this:

foo = forecastio.load_forecast(key, latitude, longitude, lang="en")

This was added to the API on 29 May 2014:
https://developer.forecast.io/docs/v2#options

Currently this is not working. Are there any quick workarounds?

[ZeevG]

Not a bad idea, I will consider adding language support in the future.

Currently, a quick workaround is to use the manual forecast method https://github.com/ZeevG/python-forecast.io/blob/master/README.rst#function-forecastiomanualurl

So you would do something like this.

url = "https://api.forecast.io/forecast/API_KEY/-31.967819,115.87718?lang=es"
forecast = forecastio.manual(url)

Thanks!
Thats a working workaround.

Not sure if this should be closed, until there is such function implemented?

[ZeevG]

Good point, I'll reopen it.

I don't really want to add too many optional parameters to the load_forecast() function. In the future, I am thinking it might be better to handle supporting this (and all the other API options) through the design proposed in #26.

Let me know what your thoughts are.

Thanks for everyone's patience and apologies it took so long to add this feature. I've now released version 1.4.0 which allows you to specify a language.
