101
102 You can also create a keybinding for the weather popup like this: ::
103
104     globalkeys = awful.util.table.join(
105         ...
106         awful.key( { "Mod1" }, "w", function () lain.widgets.yawn.show(5) end )

112 Localization
113 ------------
114
115 Default language is English, but Yawn can be localized.
116 Move to ``localizations`` subdirectory and fill ``localization_template``.
117
118 Once you're done, rename it like your locale id. In my case: ::
119
120     $ lua
121     Lua 5.2.2  Copyright (C) 1994-2013 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
122     > print(os.getenv("LANG"):match("(%S*$*)[.]"))
123     it_IT
124     >
125
126 hence I named my file "it_IT" (Italian localization).
127
128 **NOTE:** If you create a localization, feel free to send me! I will add it.
