The PhpWeather mailinglist found here is the best place, for then your
question reaches as many people as possible:

  http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/phpweather-devel

I've CC'ed this replay to the list --- maybe someone else have had the
same problems...

Why doesn't it work?

Your idea should work, except that the degree symbol (=B0) is coded as
the corresponding HTML entity: &deg; in the output from most
languages, except in the wind direction in the German output, which I
guess is what you're interested in.

The following seems to works with German:

  str_replace(array('&deg;C', '&deg;F', '=BA', '%'),
              array('Grad C', 'Grad F', ' Grad', ' Procent'),
              $text->print_pretty())

but a more robust solution would be to edit the pw_text_de.php file
directly together with the pw_text.php file.  Search for '=BA' and
'&deg;' and I'm sure you'll be able to figure things out.
