Display Address Book contacts' weather forecast
Authored by: sinuz on Feb 13, '04 12:15:37PM

Seemed like a nice feature to ave and it worked like a charm. But not for me...
Living in Sweden and that weather service does not support swedish characters like åäö. Which renders the script virtually useless for me.
Anyone got a nice fix for that? Like a short script that strips a word of those characters and replaces them with the closest match?
Linköping won't work but if I use Linkoping it works fine. Though I don't want to use that spelling in the address book.

/Linus
