Thank you so much. I have included this information in a (i18n) npm package so everyone can use it and keep it up-to-date:

Language files:

Icon Mappings (don't include the icons themselves, just the names or urls):

The library itself: https://github.com/pxl-ui/weather-i18n

Everyone please feel free to include more languages, translation keys and icon mappings and I'll make sure the PRs gets merged asap so we can create a useful tooling for most common scenarios.

Also, in the process I found out there are already other standards I don't know whether they are worth it to take a look or not (WMO 4678 comes to my mind). The project is implemented in a way to cover as many standards as needed so if anyone can share their experiences I would like to figure out whether it makes sense to include more or not.

Hello, I'm not sure if this is still active, is it okay if I integrate this into my own python program for weather data? Citing you as the source. I'm not a normal github user so I can't see if this is just a one off code snippet or part of a larger project.

Here is my project: https://github.com/jwalk999/TDH-Weather-Data-Visualizer
