This might turn into a bit of a mini meta bug.

There is a technical and possibly non technical component to locale and regions with weather widget.

Right now it's only certain regions we support.

For the most part it is localized, but I think the location picker needs some work as it needs to ensure we get localized names for the locations. Also worth doing a double check on the overall localization of the widget, did we miss any strings? (which can happen if a feature is intended for US or English only, so we should double check this)

There is also the question around accuracy of different regions.

Also worth doing a double check on the overall localization of the widget, did we miss any strings?

While the widget itself is localized, the text within .weatherTextSummary is always English.

I am not sure about the spacing rules in other languages. But at least in German, there has to be a space between the value and the unit of the temperature. So instead of 22°C, it has to be 22 °C, for example.
