Right-click and select "Edit Weather Variables" to Edit the file WeatherComJSONVariables.inc in the @Resources folder of the skin and change Units=e to Units=m.

Save the file and refresh the skin.

The days of the week and months are coming from the .lua code, and the os.date() functions in Lua are based on the current "locale" set on your computer. So you would need to edit the Lua and use string.gsub() on the values returned and set for weekdayName and monthName, in order to change Monday to Lunes.

I assume you have already done some editing to change other things like the textual numbers to Spanish.

Find the function DateString() in the .lua, and add some string.gsub() calls...

Code: Select all

function DateString()

	weekdayName = os.date('%A')
	monthName = os.date('%B')
	
	weekdayName = string.gsub(weekdayName, 'Monday', 'lunes')
	weekdayName = string.gsub(weekdayName, 'Tuesday', 'martes')
	weekdayName = string.gsub(weekdayName, 'Wednesday', 'miércoles')
	weekdayName = string.gsub(weekdayName, 'Thursday', 'jueves')
	weekdayName = string.gsub(weekdayName, 'Friday', 'viernes')
	weekdayName = string.gsub(weekdayName, 'Saturday', 'sábado')
	weekdayName = string.gsub(weekdayName, 'Sunday', 'domingo')
	

Do the same for monthName.
