OpenWeatherMap description of the weather in another language?



Hi, how can I use the "lang" parameter to describe the weather in another language?

if (responseCode == 200) {
			result = {
				"cod" => data["cod"],
				"lat" => data["coord"]["lat"],
				"lon" => data["coord"]["lon"],
				"dt" => data["dt"],
				"temp" => data["main"]["temp"],
				"temp_min" => data["main"]["temp_min"],
				"temp_max" => data["main"]["temp_max"],
				"humidity" => data["main"]["humidity"],
				"icon" => data["weather"][0]["icon"],
				"des" => data["weather"][0]["main"],
				"lang"  => data["des"][0]["bg"]

This is really something for the CIQ discussion forum, but given the above you'd so something like

"lang" =>"en",

in the above code for english

Per the API doc you can specify a language when you request the data:

So where should i incorporate the parameter into the code?

Same place where you specify the API Key, lat, lon etc.

Or are you a user and not a developer? If so, ask the developer.

makeWebRequest(
					"https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather",
					{
						"lat"  => App.getApp().getProperty("UserLat"),
						"lon"  => App.getApp().getProperty("UserLon"),
						"lang" =>
						"appid" => api_key,
						"units" => "metric" // Celcius.
					     
					},
					method(:onReceiveOpenWeatherMapCurrent)

I'm a developer. So should i write the "lang" param here?
