Re: celsius with kweather

Looks like you can't choose Celsius without 'metric'. The code that decides whether to use C or F does it based on KLocale::Metric (kdetoys/kweather/metar_parser.cpp:437). Doesn't make much sense, but then again, measuring in body parts lengths doesn't make sense to me, either. At least, the U.S. are in good company: Liberia and Burma use imperial units, too. :-)

Well, I think that I would prefer to have american with metric standard.
(I am American who spent too much time in a lab).
I wonder, if it is possible to simply create a setting for it (I do not know the Locale code).

US + metric is no problem. It's US + imperial + Celsius that doesn't work now.
