<h3>Translations</h3>
<p>The plugin is <strong>fully translatable</strong> and includes built-in translations for <strong>Swedish (sv_SE)</strong> and <strong>Norwegian Bokmål (nb_NO)</strong>.</p>
<h3>How to translate the plugin</h3>
<p><strong>Option 1: Contribute to translate.wordpress.org (recommended)</strong><br />
– Visit <a href="https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/spelhubben-weather/" rel="nofollow ugc">translate.wordpress.org</a><br />
– Select your language and add translations via the browser interface<br />
– Your translations will automatically be included in future releases</p>
<p><strong>Option 2: Local translation files</strong><br />
If you need to add or modify translations locally:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<p><strong>Generate or update the POT file</strong> (translation template):<br />
   <code>wp i18n make-pot . languages/spelhubben-weather.pot --slug=spelhubben-weather</code></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Create a PO file for your language</strong> (e.g., <code>spelhubben-weather-de_DE.po</code>):</p>
<ul>
<li>Copy the <code>.pot</code> file and rename to match your locale (e.g., <code>de_DE</code>)</li>
<li>Use a translation tool like <a href="https://poedit.net/" rel="nofollow ugc">Poedit</a> or a text editor</li>
<li>Translate all strings in the PO file</li>
<li>Save the file as <code>spelhubben-weather-de_DE.po</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Generate the MO file</strong> (compiled binary format):<br />
   <code>msgfmt spelhubben-weather-de_DE.po -o spelhubben-weather-de_DE.mo</code></p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Place files in the plugin</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Store both <code>.po</code> and <code>.mo</code> files in <code>/languages/</code></li>
<li>Also generate a <code>.l10n.php</code> file (WordPress 6.0+):<br />
 <code>wp i18n make-json languages/spelhubben-weather-de_DE.po --no-purge</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Activate your translation</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Change your WordPress language to match the locale code (Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> General <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Site Language)</li>
<li>The plugin will automatically load the translated strings</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Translation file structure</strong>:<br />
    <code>languages/<br />
  spelhubben-weather.pot          (template for all translations)<br />
  spelhubben-weather-sv_SE.po    (Swedish source text)<br />
  spelhubben-weather-sv_SE.mo    (Swedish compiled)<br />
  spelhubben-weather-sv_SE.l10n.php<br />
  spelhubben-weather-nb_NO.po    (Norwegian source text)<br />
  spelhubben-weather-nb_NO.mo    (Norwegian compiled)<br />
  spelhubben-weather-nb_NO.l10n.php</code></p>
<p><strong>What gets translated</strong>:<br />
– All frontend strings (shortcode output, widget labels, weather descriptions, WMO codes)<br />
– Admin settings and UI labels<br />
– JavaScript strings (expand/collapse, status messages)<br />
– Error messages and notices</p>
<p><strong>Best practices</strong>:<br />
– Use context clues in the POT file (<code>msgctxt</code>) to distinguish similar phrases<br />
– Test your translation in WordPress to ensure formatting and plurals work correctly<br />
– Check that translated UI aligns properly in your language (RTL vs LTR)</p>


Spelhubben Weather

Weather widget, Gutenberg block and shortcode with optional map and multi-provider forecasts.

<p><strong>OWM Weather</strong> is derived from the discontinued plugin WP Cloudy. It uses many of the same settings but is completely separate.</p>
<p>OWM Weather is a flexible and easy-to-use weather plugin that allows the creation of unlimited different Weathers using Custom Post Types and the Open Weather Map API.</p>
<p>Create a Weather, select your location, choose the data and customize the look and feel with a few clicks.</p>
<p>Embed it anywhere with the automatically generated shortcode via copy and paste in posts, pages, text widgets, or directly in the PHP files of your theme.</p>
<p>With Custom Post Types, you minimize the maintenance: Override certain settings in the system setup and thereby change all Weather posts automatically.</p>
<p>Check out the documentation, layout examples and comparisons at the <a href="https://ujsoftware.com/owm-weather-blog/" rel="nofollow ugc">OWM Weather Blog</a>.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<h4>Weather information</h4>
<p>Current weather conditions, alerts, hourly up to 48 hours and daily up to 7 days.</p>
<h4>Completely customizable</h4>
<p>Data items can be selected and styled individually. Pick your measurement system, time format, and zone. Choose from several templates, fonts, or icon sets.<br />
Developers have access through custom templates to the raw Open Weather Map data – converted to the selected measurement system, time format, and zone – to build a completely customized layout. A built-in debug template shows all options, data, and generated Html snippets.</p>
<h4>Shortcode Placement</h4>
<p>Use via Gutenberg block, as a widget or via shortcode in content and/or sidebar. Multiple completely different kinds of Weather can be shown on the same page.</p>
<h4>Weather Location</h4>
<p>The worldwide location can be specified by the OWM city id (available for over 200,000 cities), the city/country name via dynamic search, the zip code, the latitude/longitude, or the IP address of the user (geolocation).</p>
<h4>Unlimited weathers</h4>
<p>OWM Weather uses WordPress Custom Post Types which allows for an unlimited number of weathers.</p>
<h4>Multisite</h4>
<p>Turn on the global setup mode and share your network setup and main site weather definitions throughout the network.</p>
<h4>Weather-based Backgrounds</h4>
<p>Define up to 7 different background colors, images or videos depending on the weather condition.</p>
<h4>Cache system</h4>
<p>Weather data is cached at a frequency defined by you. The data is then loaded from your server and you no longer depend on external sources. This avoids slowdowns and blocked page rendering.</p>
<h4>Open Weather Map API</h4>
<p>OWM Weather retrieves the weather information from the Open Weather Map website, a free weather data and forecast API. Get your free API key to avoid running into call limits. Note: It can take several hours before your API key is activated by OWM.</p>
<h4>Dashboard Weather</h4>
<p>You can include OWM Weather in your WordPress Dashboard as a widget.</p>
<h4>Flat & Retina responsive design</h4>
<p>Minimalist and flat responsive design, fully vectorial (SVG/CSS/Webfont), for a perfect display on all devices.</p>
<h4>Options panel</h4>
<p>Do you want to apply configuration settings globally? With our system options panel, you can bypass each setting on all weathers in just a few clicks. A weather page can opt-out of this bypass to ensure it always looks the same.</p>
<h4>Google Tag Manager</h4>
<p>Weather information (current temperature, cloudiness, short description, and category) can be pushed to the Google Tag Manager data layer to analyze web traffic by the weather.</p>
<h4>No ads. Free</h4>
<p>Our plugin will never display any advertising on your site. Did we mention it’s a free WordPress plugin? We kindly ask for a donation should you like the plugin.</p>

OWM Weather

Very well done. I would like the author to re-examine the template system to allow an indeterminate amount of templates, and custom template directories.

Excellent Plugin

It is a plugin with many options and very configurable. I had a problem with the Spanish translations and the technical support solved it in record time with a plugin update.

Thanks uwe!

Good plugin and good support

OWM Weather is a powerful weather plugin for WordPress, based on the Open Weather Map API. It uses custom post types and shortcodes, and much more.
