Incorrect location weather - only depend on the language preference but not the actual location selected

[Max]

The problem seems highly related to the language setting: the displaying weather information is always set as the weather of the city of the default language but not the actual location selected.

My language preference is Chinese (Taiwan) zh-TW > Chinese (Hong Kong) zh-HK > English En. I tried to set location to be "Hong Kong" in 2 ways but both failed.

Firstly, I searched the city name in preference window > search location. Even if the city was found correctly in the map, after confirming the location, the displayed city remained as "台北市", Taipei City in Chinese, the capital of Taiwan.

Then, I tried to type the city name "Hong Kong" directly in preference window. Although the city name shown as typed, the weather info shown always be the Taipei City one. The problem remains no matter I typed the city name in Chinese or English.

Finally, I checked the setting in ~/.config/my-weather-indicator/my-weather-indicator.conf
Indeed, the city name, longitude and latitude are correct.

So, I repeated these using different weather service providers but the results were the same.It works until the system default language is set to Chinese (Hong Kong).

My-weather-indicator: 0.6.4
Ubuntu: 13.04
Language preference: Chinese (Taiwan) zh-TW > Chinese (Hong Kong) zh-HK > English En

hi Max,

When you want to use this Indicator, you must find your City first.
Therefore try to search this way: Hong-Kong/China

This should work out in the search. For me, this little app worked fine and works fine in Ubuntu 13.04, 13.10 und 14.04.
But currently this repository sadly is not available for Ubuntu 14.10, so that I cannot test it here.
