Any plans in the future to add Cyprus to FediMeteo? I am happy to help if needed. You are welcome to let me know.

[stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@marios Sure. It will probably be the next country and I may ask you some questions like: should I do bilingual forecasts there?

[marios@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@stefano

I would probably say yes at it is also very popular with tourists. English is also becoming a more common spoken language on the island.

On that note, does the FediMeteo display in the local device language? I noticed with Patras for Greece, it is displayed in Greek although my device is set to English (This is more a question out of interest and curiosity)

[stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@marios yes, it usually uses local language, except when there are problems (like Switzerland). That's why I was asking, as I know there's a Greek speaking and Turkish speaking part of the island

[marios@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@stefano

I see what you mean. That does add other variables to consider. It is a de facto state.

@marios exactly...this is why I could actually provide the forecasts in English 🙂

[marios@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@stefano

English is probably the most neutral and least controversial option.

[stefano@mastodon.bsd.cafe]

@marios it’s also easier for me, so it will be English. In this case, I’ll try to implement it in the coming days
