The file strings.ini allows the customisation of a number of phrases, including the associated webtags.
Currently you can modified phrases associated with the following:
- Forecasting
- Moonphases
- Beaufort Scale
- Trend descriptions
- Compass points
Modifying the phrases
In the folder where you installed Cumulus, you will find a file called samplestrings.ini. Take a copy of this, leave it in the Cumulus installation folder, and name it strings.ini
You must restart Cumulus if you make changes to the Strings.ini file while Cumulus is running
Forecast phrases
By default Cumulus will provide a list of 28 possible forecasts. By editing the strings.ini file you can change the wording of these or translate to another language. You must have opted to have the forecast generated by Cumulus in the configuration page.
The file contains all the strings used for the forecasts, example:
forecast23=Precipitation at frequent intervals
you could change to
forecast23=Rain again
Moon Phases
Withing the [MoonPhases] section of the strings.ini file there are 8 possible phrases to describe the phases of the moon. Adjust these as required.
