The file strings.ini allows the customisation of a number of phrases, including the associated webtags.

Currently you can modified phrases associated with the following:

  • Forecasting
  • Moonphases
  • Beaufort Scale
  • Trend descriptions
  • Compass points
  • Graph titles
  • Additional sensor names

Note that you can only change the display of items that are already present in the samplestrings.ini file (and hence in your strings.ini file). You can't just add other items to the file and expect them to work.

Modifying the phrases

In the folder where you installed Cumulus, you will find a file called samplestrings.ini. Take a copy of this, leave it in the Cumulus installation folder, and name it strings.ini

You must restart Cumulus if you make changes to the Strings.ini file while Cumulus is running


Forecast phrases

By default Cumulus will provide a list of 28 possible forecasts. By editing the strings.ini file you can change the wording of these or translate to another language. You must have opted to have the forecast generated by Cumulus in the configuration page.


The file contains all the strings used for the forecasts, example:

forecast23=Precipitation at frequent intervals

you could change to

forecast23=Rain again


Moon Phases

Within the [MoonPhases] section of the strings.ini file there are 8 possible phrases to describe the phases of the moon. Adjust these as required.

Graph Titles

This section [Graphs] allows you modify the titles used for both the thumbnail and larger graphs that Cumulus produces. For instance you may want to change the language from the default English.

Extra Sensor Captions

This section [ExtraSensorCaptions] allows you to assign meaningful names to any addtional sensors you may have added to your WMR100/200 weather station.
