Thanks to Unai a Spanish translation for WeatherIcon 2 is now available.

it’s in the zip

Please note, you only need the “mo” file to use the language.
the “po” files are human readable, you can use them to update the translations or to make a new one. (you can then convert the “po” file into a “mo” file to make it machine readable.)

Update Friday July 20th:

Exciting news for WeatherIcon (a plugin for wordpress that shows the current weather conditions for your location with a pretty icon)

Thanks again to Garett for his hard work we are now at version 2!

This release adds these features (I’m sure I’ve forgotten some):

1. an options page in wordpress 1.5
2. better localization support
3. automatically linking to the cache (if you place it in the recommend location)
4. automatically linking to the icons (if you place them in the recommended locations)
5. several contributed bug fixes (including one from Bob Crispen Thanks Bob!)

This release will only work with wordpress 1.5 so I’m going to leave the older version up for those who still need it.

If you’re interested in creating localizations for WeatherIcon please contact me.

Here’s some additional info from Garett:
It should be noted that the language files in the languages directory were intended as a sample. While French (francais) is the same as the French language php file that was available for download before (and should thus work the same as before), it doesn’t have the localization for the configuration page and the German (Deutsch) language file only localizes the configuration page and I’m not overly confident in the translation thereof (I’m not a native German speaker with a limited vocabulary).

In any case, it might make more sense to download language files separately, should they be need. The script should work fine without the additional language files (unless I really screwed up the configuration page). Also while both the po and mo files should be offered for download, it should be noted that the po files are only needed if changes/fixes/additions need to be made to the translation. PO’s by themselves are useless to wordpress (and thus this plugin) and have to be compiled into a mo file before they can be used (msgfmt -o language.mo language.po in unix or using poedit). More information on localization is available on the wordpress wiki.

Update: New version is available (2.0.1) - (it’s in the same location)
Changes are:
- Fixed Missing Descriptor for visibility.
- Removed border attribute from image
- Fixed fread error on initial creation of cache file.
