In fact the problem is simple : libgweather-common.deb had not package the traductions (!!).
In debian sid, libgweather-common.deb (3.26.0-1) include (a part of) the trad files in /usr/share/locale. For example : /usr/share/locale/et/LC_MESSAGES/libgweather-3.0.mo /usr/share/locale/et/LC_MESSAGES/libgweather-locations.mo /usr/share/locale/eu/LC_MESSAGES/libgweather-3.0.mo /usr/share/locale/eu/LC_MESSAGES/libgweather-locations.mo /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/libgweather-3.0.mo /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/libgweather-locations.mo ....... See here the complet list of "normals" files : https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/libgweather-common/filelist. In Ubuntu 17.10 and 18.04, libgweather-common.deb has NOT these files. /usr/share/locale is not include. I picked the 2 files which interess me in libgweather-common.deb from sid : /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/libgweather-3.0.mo /usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/libgweather-locations.mo and i copied them (in root) in the same directory on my disk. And GNOME-WEATHER just Work. In french. So please, rebuild libgweather-common.deb with /usr/share/locale/. Or directly use the sid version.... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libgweather in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1704533 Title: French language locale missing : Gnome-Weather Status in GNOME Weather: Confirmed Status in Ubuntu Translations: New Status in gnome-weather package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in libgweather package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In Gnome Weather, part of it is not translated in french : cloudy, rain showers, etc. Should be : nuageux, pluie fine, etc. I guess it's a missing french localization. Fedora does not have that problem. In Gnome-Software, they have a section for languages, under the extensions section.
