<h3>Translations</h3>
The plugin is fully translatable and includes built-in translations for Swedish (sv_SE) and Norwegian Bokmål (nb_NO).
<h3>How to translate the plugin</h3>
Option 1: Contribute to translate.wordpress.org (recommended) 
– Visit <a href="https://translate.wordpress.org/projects/wp-plugins/spelhubben-weather/" rel="nofollow ugc">translate.wordpress.org</a> 
– Select your language and add translations via the browser interface 
– Your translations will automatically be included in future releases
Option 2: Local translation files 
If you need to add or modify translations locally:
<ol>
<li>
Generate or update the POT file (translation template): 
 <code>wp i18n make-pot . languages/spelhubben-weather.pot --slug=spelhubben-weather</code>
</li>
<li>
Create a PO file for your language (e.g., <code>spelhubben-weather-de_DE.po</code>):
<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>
Generate the MO file (compiled binary format): 
 <code>msgfmt spelhubben-weather-de_DE.po -o spelhubben-weather-de_DE.mo</code>
</li>
<li>
Place files in the plugin:
<ul>
<li>Store both <code>.po</code> and <code>.mo</code> files in <code>/languages/</code></li>
<li>If you bundle translations with the plugin, also keep generated <code>.l10n.php</code> files and block editor JSON files in sync with the PO/MO files.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
Activate your translation:
<ul>
<li>Change your WordPress language to match the locale code (Settings → General → Site Language)</li>
<li>The plugin will automatically load the translated strings</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
Translation file structure: 
 <code>languages/ 
 spelhubben-weather.pot (template for all translations) 
 spelhubben-weather-sv_SE.po (Swedish source text) 
 spelhubben-weather-sv_SE.mo (Swedish compiled) 
 spelhubben-weather-sv_SE.l10n.php 
 spelhubben-weather-nb_NO.po (Norwegian source text) 
 spelhubben-weather-nb_NO.mo (Norwegian compiled) 
 spelhubben-weather-nb_NO.l10n.php</code>
What gets translated: 
– All frontend strings (shortcode output, widget labels, weather descriptions, WMO codes) 
– Admin settings and UI labels 
– JavaScript strings (expand/collapse, status messages) 
– Error messages and notices
Best practices: 
– Use context clues in the POT file (<code>msgctxt</code>) to distinguish similar phrases 
– Test your translation in WordPress to ensure formatting and plurals work correctly 
– Check that translated UI aligns properly in your language (RTL vs LTR)
<h3>Older Changelog</h3>
<h4>2.0.0</h4>
<ul>
<li>FIX: Leaflet map now loads correctly on paginated, archive and guest pages where the global <code>$post</code> may be unavailable. Asset loader now scans the main query for shortcodes/blocks and enqueues Leaflet assets accordingly.</li>

<ul>
<li>
FIX: Leaflet/map is now displayed correctly even for guests and special pages where $post is not set (fallback to get_queried_object()).

<li>
= 1.9.7 =
</li>
<li>

<li>Changed: Plugin version bumped to 1.9.3; readme stable tag updated.</li>
