Dump of forecast window

The plugin works reliably but for one or another reason the forecast never shows daytime temperatures. The current temperature, at any given time, is shown in the panel correctly. See attached image for oddity in forecast.

The wind speed units would be more in line with meteorological terminology if m/s would be used instead of km/h, which is rare in weather forecasts.

Thanks anyway for a fine and discreet application that is of ever more value as autumn sets in.

Thanks for the advice which not only solved the problem but produced another, albeit a non-critical one.

1) The language used isn't consistent, as the attached dump will show. It used to be in Finnish, the system default, but now English has not only crept in but nearly invaded the weather plug-in.

2) I know you probably aren't in charge of this but I'll ask anyway: Why did I get the obsolete version with my Xubuntu 12.04 in the installation quite recently and why wasn't it updated automatically later on?

The Finnish translation is incomplete. You could look at the git repo if it contains an updated Finnish language file http://git.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-weather-plugin/ and compile it yourself. Not sure, but maybe compiling the language file only and copying the compiled file manually would probably be enough. People on IRC channel #xfce-dev or #xfce might be able to help you with this.

If there is no up-to-date language file, get an account on transifex.com and use the web UI to make an updated file. The changes will be synced to the git repo every 6 hours, and other Finnish users will benefit from it too.

Ask at Xubuntu, we don't deal with distribution-specific stuff here.
