Enhancement: Dynamically Change URL in Weather Module Based on User's Preferred Language

[zfyzmh]

The click-through on the weather module should switch the URL link based on the preferred language instead of always being 'en-us' 'https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/forecast/'.

天气模块的点击跳转根据首选语言来进行切换url链接而不是永远的 en-us 'https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/forecast/'

Hello @zfyzmh !

This was originally planned, but because their URLs path names are translated, this has to be done manually for every language:

• ✅ https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/forecast/
• ❌ https://www.msn.com/fr-fr/weather/forecast/
• ✅ https://www.msn.com/fr-fr/meteo/previsions/

This is annoying but doable. I don't know when this will be added though !

Hello @zfyzmh !

One possible way to do it is using a web search engine (like DuckDuckGo) to search for the URLs in for each language.

Searching for "MSN Weather site:msn.com/fr-fr" in DuckDuckGo and the the first result will be MSN weather in French language. Grab its URL and trim the URL after the 4th level (after the word "forecast").

With a list of all MSN locales, it's possible to create a JSON dictionary connecting locales and URLs with duckduckgo_search module in Python. We don't need to search for all languages, since only languages in Latin script get their URL path name translated.

I agree @GhostScript0r, that would work. It might be faster to do it manually however 😅

If you want to do that script and post your result here, that would be super helpful !
