Hello every one.
Nowadays, almost every application are becoming multilingual ( video games, web applications, desktop applications , widgets etc... )
I'm am currently developing a weather widget -for a web application- back-ended by the Yahoo weather API.
WE KNOW : that a typically request example
Looks like :
http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=2502265&u=c
Where the parameter "
w" is the WOEID and "
u" the unit.
But the returned RSS data will always be in English (<language>en-us</language>).
MY PROBLEM IS : that the web application that will run my widget is multilingual, so if a user changes the app language the user will expect the weather forecast to be in the same language.
The "hosting" web application provides my widget the ISO language code the language currently beign used...
MY QUESTION IS : Is it possible to request the weather forecast in the Yahoo weather API in a specific language?
Such as :
http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?w=2502265&u=c&lang=fr
where the "
lang" parameter would suggest the forecast to be returned in a specific language ( if available ) for example.
If
YES, please, tell me how to formulate this request, and if
NO... Any ideas for some kludges or workarounds?
Thank you
Any help will be appreciated.
