// This is a language translation template by Michael Gisclair, a.k.a. "Louisianish" for the OpenWeatherMap API. OpenWeatherMap does offer language support for many languages, but not endangered languages like Louisiana Creole. Insert your own translations for the weather descriptions in the language of your choice. See it in action HERE: https://louisianish.github.io/weatherkv/ or on my personal website HERE: https://louisianish.com/weatherkv
// Link for OpenWeatherMap API weather descriptions: https://openweathermap.org/weather-conditions

// In HTML file, add an id attribute to the paragraph tag that lies within the div with the class entitled "temperature-description." Name the ID after your language or whatever you want.
let weatherCondition = document.getElementById("[insert ID name]");

// Clear - 01d & 01n
// Set weather description to display your language's word for "sunny" during daytime hours rather than the word for "clear sky"
