      Could you please add an option to display city names in their original/local language? Right now, Windy shows a lot of old Czech exonyms — most of them are archaisms that nobody really uses anymore. Honestly, I have no clue what “Inšpruk” is supposed to be until I stop and think twice. And some, like “Budyšín”, I can’t even decode at all without asking Google. It would be much clearer (and more useful) to have the choice of endonyms.
      Thanks,
      Peter

        @peter77 You can turn English map labels on in our settings. I think this is the best solution when you use any other language than English.

          @Suty It does not make any sense. Innsbruck is Innsbruck and München is München. Not Munich. Prague is Praha in our local language. Not Prague. So all-english map won't fix it. User should have the option to see the original local names as they are written on local traffic signs. This is basic functionality for orientation.

            @Radin-Černý You are right about this. I can discuss it with colleagues, but honestly there is a small priority in this, since we rather focus on weather related features and adjustments.
