My weather using Maori Language Control Files

[JennyLeez]

For many months I have been typing up the language control files in Maori for the Saratoga template.
With limited knowledge of the maori language this has not been easy especially as I wanted this in modern Maori.
I managed to source a lady to help fluent in Te Reo and she spent many hours with me to have it as accurate as possible.
Maori words tended to be extremely long and so I ended up rewriting the english template to accommodate.
From there I had to translate all my changes into French, German, Dutch etc as well to ensure those language templates also worked. All in all it turned into quite a mission.

So this has been my latest project and now Wairoa is uploading live in maori and almost completed.
I even made a wee flag for up top where the languages may be changed.
See what you guys think

That's awesome Jenny. When I heard you were doing thins I was absolutely rapt. Now it's online it looks brilliant. Congratulations and well done. It's great to see Te Reo being used on a weather website, and is a big asset to the Saratoga templates set.

A big thanks to you, and of course please pass our thanks onto your friend that helped you out

Is this a world first ?

Yep sure is. Only New Zealand Station running live in Maori.
Mr True has asked if he may add to the next distribution. The only problem is I have altered the template heaps.
I need to run it within the original template and see how it pans out.
Then add to control file. Just a time thing at present. But sure will be good for New Zealand
