Belchertown - German Translation

[NanoG5Kite]

Hello everybody

Would someone support me with his German skin-conf...?

Regards,

Matthias

[Manfred Maier]

Sure. 

I'll upload my translations for you. Give me 15 mins.

Manfred

PS: On my site you can see my German translation in action (wetter-zorneding.de) 

[Manfred Maier]

Here you go!

Attached please find my skin.conf (with - I guess - no relevant information in it), plus the relevant part of my weewx.conf that holds all the German translations. It's important to put the translations into the weewx.conf. Otherwise the translations might get lost when updating the skin.

Would be great if you could post the URL of your site. I'm always looking for ideas of how to improve my site ;)

Best regards!

Hi Manfred,

very nice!  - many thanks! My site is yet not online... For the translations I will work over the weekend...

So far only the enclosed screenshot...

What I have added in the skin.conf so far (visibility and cloudbase):

1.     # Station Observations. Special observation rainWithRainRate combines Daily Rain with Rain Rate in 1 line
    station_observations = "barometer", "dewpoint", "heatindex", "outHumidity", "rainWithRainRate", "radiation", "UV", "visibility", "cloudbase"

# Extra Observation labels
        appTemp              = Apparent Temperature
        cloudbase            = Cloud Base
        visibility           = Visibility
        windrun              = Wind Run

2. Aeris Weather forecast in the latest beta:

 # Forecast defaults
    forecast_enabled = 1
    forecast_api_id = "xxxx"
    forecast_api_secret = "xxxx"
    forecast_units = "si"
    forecast_stale = 3540
    forecast_alert_enabled = 0
    forecast_alert_limit = 1
    forecast_show_daily_forecast_link = 1
    forecast_daily_forecast_link = "https://wx.aerisweather.com/local/de/fitzbek"

My current Hardware/Sensors:

DP1500 Wi-Fi Wetterserver USB-Dongle inkl. & WH4000SE All-in-One Außensensor

And on the way/ordered now:

Not sure yet if I will get the Thunder Data into Weewx/Belchertwon, but will use it manly to get Telegram Warnings via my Iobroker Homeautomatisation...

Our Golfcourse "Aukrug" in 7km distance to my home...

Best regards,

Hi,

I installed Belchertown skin a few days ago and translated it into german. My site is online and accessible with a dynamic dns address. It's hosted on my home server for private use only. I don't want to invite any script-kiddies to start hacking my home now :-) So there's only a screenshot appended...

As described in the belchertown wiki I copied the translation into the weewx.conf. The translation is also included here.

Hi Roland,

many thanks for sharing! However, I propose that you take your site offline asap... ;-)  

Without „Impressum“ und also those other DSGVU and Cookie statements our German lawyers (Abmahnkanzleien/Blutsauger) will possible  hunt you like crazy...

That‘s also the reason why I‘m still prudent to get my site online...

Best regards,

Matthias

Do you need a cookie consent built into the skin?

How does that work? The skin itself doesn't track anything. Your server may track IPs in the logs, and I don't know about windy's radar, but I'm sure they are tracking too. 

[NanoG5Kite]

Pat,

I really don’t know, as this depend..

But if you look to the Impressum of Manfred his site above you see what I mean...:

https://www.wetter-zorneding.de/about/

He secured himself against all possible chambers dissuasions by drafting a huge Impressum, but not sure if he missed something finally ;-)

[Manfred Maier]

... and even my Impressum / GDPR page is most certainly not 100% bullet proof.

But it's hopefully 'good enough' for at least putting legal trolls off.

Especially when using cookies, we would have to use an ACTIVE consent in Germany now. That's the reason why I kicked Google Analytics and switch to Matomo (without tracking cookies).

[Pat]

What would be the best approach for the skin? Instructions on how to include a cookie consent? It seems every site owner may need to be responsible for themselves and it may be hard for 1 skin to cover all scenarios. 

[Manfred Maier]

Good question.

As a starting point, the skin could include an empty template for a Impressum / data protection page. This page is (as far as I know) required in the entire European Union. Such an empty template page would at least inspire people to fill it with content.

The content of this page is then up to the owner of the page.

As for the cookie consent:

Out of the box the skin doesn't require any cookies. So a consent isn't required.

I've just checked the cookies on my computer. It seems that even Windy doesn't store any?

[Roland Lang]

Hi Manfred,

that's a good idea to start with a template page.

And I also checked my cookies - nothing for my weewx site is stored.

Roland

[Pat]

If the skin doesn't store cookie data (which is good, I didn't think it would), then it may be easier for me to explain how to add a cookie consent to the site, putting the onus on the site owner, rather than me and providing a blank template for one. 

[Manfred Maier]

What I meant is an additional 'legal page', not a cookie banner.

Such legal pages are required in many countries around the world.

As you saw on my page, I have the 'station' page (with information about the PWS) and the additional legal page.

I can see three options:

1) Leave everything as it is. People should know that such a page is legally required and they will find the information of how to add such a page.

2) Make it easier for people to find the information on how to add an additional page to the skin (--> include it in your instruction page)

3) The one option with most work for you: Add this page as an option to the skin (something like 'legal_page = 1') in the skin.conf. With a legal.inc in the belchertown folder.

Option 3 would be ideal for new users, option 2 will be the most realistic one.

Hello Manfred,

I recently installed the same Skin and struggle to get my mqtt data to work. Could you please provide your mqtt config in the the whew.conf file? Expect of your host of course! I got "undefined" units in my measurements. The rest is fine, so I guess its just a mqtt problem.

Thanks.

[Manfred Maier]

Here you go:

    [[MQTT]]

        server_url = mqtt://user:pass...@servername.bestsrv.de:8883/

        topic = weather

        unit_system = METRIC

        binding = archive, loop

        aggregation = aggregate

        log_success = False

        log_failure = True

        [[[inputs]]]

            [[[[dayRain]]]]

                name = dayRain_mm

                units = mm

            [[[[rainRate]]]]

                name = rainRate_mm_per_hour

                units = mm_per_hour

        [[[tls]]]

            tls_version = tlsv1

            ca_certs = /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt

Hallo Manfred, ich finde hier nichts übersetztes.

Gruss Geni
