Description Brian Dudek 2004-11-18 18:11:14 UTC 
Can the default location for new installations be set based on the time zone
info vs that of Pittsburg Pennsylvania ?
Comment 1 Danielle Madeley 2004-11-19 03:47:07 UTC 
The code to handle this is already in gnome-applets, but it based around your
translation domain (this is the sane way to solve this problem IMHO).

On the other hand, the code to do this is very messy, and requires translators
to set 4 values (DEFAULT_CODE, DEFAULT_LOCATION, DEFAULT_RADAR, DEFAULT_ZONE), 3
of these we could learn automatically.

Further work on this can be done in G12 with weather.gnome.org

Comment 4 Danielle Madeley 2006-01-04 00:46:40 UTC 
From Simos Xenitellis in bug #325573

Currently, the default location for different localisations comes from several
strings that the translator has to make sure they all have sensible values.
Specifically, see
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnome-i18n/2005-December/msg00157.html

The messages are DEFAULT_CODE, DEFAULT_LOCATION, DEFAULT_RADAR, DEFAULT_ZONE,
DEFAULT_COORDINATES.
As gweather already knows the full set of these values due to Locations.xml,
then simply providing the DEFAULT_CODE should be enough to traverse the tree
and find the rest of the information (name, coordinates, etc).

This would simplify the work of localisers to simply provide the correct
airport code.

Bug 562141 proposes something more generic.
