Great work. I'm going to download it and tinker with the settings and do all the other things i always do with new stuff. Looks like fun.

Great. Let me know if you break it.

I gave up on even considering the unit of measure when I hit Chinese... 毫巴

I went with "ranges" instead, since the possible ranges of pressure are

870 - 1084 millibars
25.90 - 32.01 inches

Works like a charm

Added UV Index values to WeatherComRegExp.inc and to WeatherComCurrent.inc

Get the new .rmskin in the first post of this thread.

I've been trying some language settings, and there are some problems with languages that use non-latin script and especially when they use their own numeral system.

Russian works just fine

So does Hindi (India)

And Thai

But Hebrew doesn't

Arabic and Bengali (that's spoken in Bangladesh) also use their own numeral system

Arabic

They both break the barometer; here's the example for Arabic

Language settings tested: ;ar-KW (Arabic) / he-IL (Hebrew) /bn-BD (Bengali) /ru-RU (Russian) / hi-IN (Hindi) / th-TH (Thai)
I tested some more but it seems to boil down to non-western numeral systems and an issue with regard to the Hebrew alfabet

Well, not much I can do about that. I have to be able to do "math" on some harmonized number. I doubt I'm going to sweat converting Bengali too much... Hebrew feels like it comes down to how I extract the number from the overall string. Everywhere else is "value label" and Hebrew is "label value".

The intent of this skin is really "imperial or metric", I think I've pushed this about as far as I can.

Sounds reasonable enough

Besides: part of the thing with Rainmeter is doing things yourselves. I like messing around with it (though i'm not much of a coder) and finding a solution. It's the reason why i kept using it for ten years.

So as an example

Hebrew

Bengali

As an user i'm used to 'one-size-fits-all english-only' sort of output from especially weather sites and since i like to have my skins in my own language i've spend a lot of time translating stuff. Some of the alterations and substitute strings i've made where horrendous, but they were fun to do and (ultimately) worked.

Weather.com is doing the opposite and localizes it's output to an extreme extent. You've gone a considerable way in implementing that in your skin but I would still think that it is perhaps not the task of the coder to offer all languages and formats in a skin, but leave that to the user.

Nice work!

[Wim]

Thnx!

As an user you really can make it anything you want ... hahahaha

What a wonderful idea for a weather skin! I was able to easily customize it to fit in with my existing skins.
