https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=499841 --- Comment #13 from Ismael Asensio --- (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #12) > Ismael, is there anything else feasible we can do here? Or are we now at the > mercy of the data provider? Not really, apart from shipping a local curated version of the stations list, which is being tracked in https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/issues/142 (with extra quality motivations apart from spelling). I'm wondering if it's worth repurposing this BR for that end. The other unrelated issues mentioned have been already handled for Plasma 6.3.1 or 6.4 -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=499841 --- Comment #7 from kam...@windowslive.com --- Is having a local list of stations an acceptable option? It would be ~1500 entries that would have to be mostly hand edited, but it would give us actual control over the displayed text in a user-friendly manner -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=499841 --- Comment #4 from Ismael Asensio --- > Can we safely replace all the ss/oe/ue/ae from this list with an umlaut? Short answer: No, I tried. It works for the most times for German cities, but the provider also serves other European cities that doesn't follow this gramatical rule where the conversion to an umlaut vowel totally fails. Detecting if the city is German *may* work but I remember there's no reliable way (without resorting to another provider or external data) It is also not a typo, but a grammatically valid, while uncommon, way of writting. Or at least it used to be this way IIRC. > I don't think it's necessarily a KDE issue Ii is not. We can try to make it up, but it's the providers station list which limits us. I'm not setting the report as upstream because of the "/" part. Capitalizing after a slash feels a doable request. > are the results from DWD rated so high, above bbcukmet? > Another related issue, sorting of the elements Because until recent versions, where I refactored the BBC provider, the information of that provider was way worse. It's not DWD which is heigh, but BBC it is rated lower than it should. DWD also offers weather warnings (for German locations) The sorting is probably not stable and should also use alphabetic order, but please use a different bug report for a different issue. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=499841 --- Comment #3 from kam...@windowslive.com --- Another related issue, sorting of the elements on the list of available weather stations seems to be inconsistent too, and not necessarily related to the priorities given to the providers in code. It might lead to subpar experience, and in some cases a worse default being chosen. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=499841 --- Comment #2 from kam...@windowslive.com --- I think there are more issues with this weather provider. This list in particular has many other city names without proper national letters. A better, but not easy to parse list can be found here: https://www.dwd.de/EN/ourservices/globalclimatedata/stationsverzeichnis.html But again, all the names are German, not international. It seems like there are some missing stations on this list too, that are working just fine. It begs a question, why in kde/src/kdeplasma-addons/applets/weather/plugin/locationlistmodel.cpp:83 are the results from DWD rated so high, above bbcukmet? Since the user experience with these station names from DWD is most likely subpar. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

The name comes from the list of weather station provided by Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) / German Weather Service. This station list does not contain umlauts. You can find the station list here: https://www.dwd.de/DE/leistungen/met_verfahren_mosmix/mosmix_stationskatalog.cfg The processing of this list happens in kde/src/plasma-workspace/dataengines/weather/ions/dwd/ion_dwd.cpp:240-310 I am unsure, what is the best approach here. Definitely, the issue is with the original form of the list. Can we make it any better? Can we safely replace all the ss/oe/ue/ae from this list with an umlaut? I am not sure. Do these letters occur "naturally" in the language? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
