Bug Description

The Weather Channel Scope is only able to display temperatures in Fahrenheit, which has a roll-on effect with the Today Scope.

bq Aquaris E5 HD Ubuntu Edition:
* OS build number: OTA-9
* Ubuntu Image part: 20160123.1
* Ubuntu build description: Ubuntu 15.04 - armhf (20160123-115651)
* Device Image part: 20160108-efc96d8
* Device build description: VEGETA01A-S23A_BQ_L100EN_2009_160123
* Customization Image part: 20160111-926-36--vivid

Reproduce:
- Open The Weather Channel Scope.
OR
- Open the "Today" Scope.

Apparently, the units that are displayed depend on the language setting. With US English, I get Fahrenheit; with Australian English, I get Celsius. It should be possible to set the units separately, independent of the language. I may want Celsius even though I prefer US spelling.

I can confirm what Michi Henning (michihenning) has said - if I change to "English (Australia", the temperature displays in Celsius...

I do agree though, that one should be able to specify this independently - I prefer American spelling over Australian (which borrows heavily from British English).

I've switched the bug to Ubuntu-Rest-Scopes which provides The Weather Channel scope.

no longer affects: today-scope

Perhaps using the temperature units for the location is preferable, so US would use F and (is is every other country on Earth ;) would use C.

the problem also occurs in Canada, which uses Celsius, but since OTA 9 started to show Fahrenheit. Before the en_CA was ok something must have changed there. And the workaround often suggested to switch from en_US to en_UK is not ideal.

Same for me in Aquaris E5 HD Ubuntu Edition, after upgrade from OTA-8 OTA-9.1 in lt_LT (should be Celsius).

Thomas Feldmann I am not happy Canada is showing as Fahrenheit either. I had to switch my keyboard to UK English to get my units to Celsius even after OTA-11.
