TRANSLATE

Dear users. Some time ago, accuweather.com stopped providing data in XML format for the gadget. All of your gadgets are showing an Internet connection error. I'm working on it. Unfortunately, with constant air raids and missile strikes on my city (I live in Ukraine), the work is proceeding extremely slowly and I have no confidence that it will ever be completed. Thanks for understanding.

Can anybody help me to translate few my gadgets to other languages (Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, etc.)? If you’re that person, please call me using the contact form.
