Thanks and bye to you all

Dear Lululla,

First of all, thank you for this fantastic plugin! It's one of the best weather plugins for Enigma2, and many of us really appreciate your work.

The Issue:

I have a specific use case that I believe many users would benefit from. I want to keep my Enigma2 box interface in English, but I would like to have the Foreca One plugin fully translated into Serbian (or any other language of choice).

Currently, the plugin uses the trans() function (Google Translate) for some strings, which overrides the standard Enigma2 translation system (_()). This causes two problems:

1. Weather descriptions (Clear, Cloudy, Overcast, etc.) are passed through Google Translate. For example, "Clear" is translated as "Delete" (from "clear" meaning "erase") instead of "Vedro" (weather context). This creates confusing and incorrect translations.
2. The standard Enigma2 translation system is bypassed, so even if we place custom translations in the en/LC_MESSAGES/ folder (tricking Enigma2 into reading Serbian from the English locale), the trans() function still sends strings to Google Translate, causing unpredictable results.

The Solution:

I would like to kindly request a simple option in the plugin settings:

text

[ ] Enable Google Translate for weather descriptions

or even better:

text

Plugin Language: [System Language] [English] [Serbian] [Custom]

When this option is disabled, the plugin should only use the standard Enigma2 translation system:

python

# Current behavior (problematic):
self["weather_description"].setText(trans(desc))

# Desired behavior (when translation is disabled):
self["weather_description"].setText(desc)  # Uses standard Enigma2 _() system

This way:

• Users who want automatic translations can keep Google Translate enabled.
• Users who want full control over translations (like me, wanting Serbian while keeping the box in English) can disable it and use custom .po files.

Why this is useful:

1. Language independence: Users can have the box in one language and the plugin in another.
2. Accurate translations: Weather terms can be translated correctly (Clear → Vedro, not Delete).
3. Community contributions: Users can create and share their own high-quality translations without Google Translate interference.

Technical implementation suggestion:

Simply replace:

python

self["weather_description"].setText(trans(desc))

with:

python

if config.plugins.foreca.enable_translation.value:    self["weather_description"].setText(trans(desc))
else:    self["weather_description"].setText(desc)

And add a ConfigBoolean option in the settings menu.

Thank you for considering this request! Your plugin is already amazing, and this small change would make it perfect for many users around the world who want to customize their experience.

Best regards,
