Bug Description

Since I had to give my current location when installing, the weather applet
should default to that. Sure it's not right lot's of time but at least it's in
the correct country/area which means that it's simpler to change than going from
whatever is the default right now.

would be nice but probably not trivial to do

in fact the applet should pick a location according to the system settings. What
timezone/language are you using, which location should be picked/is picked ?

Reopening as I went to make a new bug about this and found this one already existed.

e.g. I live in Melbourne, Australia. I told the installation app that is where I live. If I add the weather applet to the panel, I would expect it to be already set to Melbourne, Australia.

I'm not sure what specific is needed, but I will willingly give it if asked.

The issue with en_AU it's because there is no upstream translation for it, I've opened a bug upstream about that: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348335

The value is written to the schemas with is not a part of the language-pack so translation on rosetta doesn't fix the issue
