core: OpenWeatherMap doesn't follow language setting

The problem

Even though my language is set to English:

sensor ‘Weather’ is displayed in Dutch:

also, there is no icon for this sensor, so we need to customize it, and being in an incorrect language makes that difficult, because its is not following the condition classes but a localized language

just assume extra info, I received this from OpenWeastherMap:

I have attached the translations below:

If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate and contact us.

and yet, though you said the weather sensor comes straight from the api, I saw these translations come by, and they’re not in the list:

dichte mist
zeer lichte bewolking

and that’s only logging a couple of days, without many weather condition changes… So it’s still a bit unclear what really is happening. which must be a backend thing? because well check this:

currently code 802 is reported:

which according to the OWM list should lead to 'half bewolkt' in Dutch, but this is returned: Schermafbeelding 2020-11-11 om 09 14 00

which is the condition name for condition 801.

So maybe this isnt simply a translation thing, but an even more core integration issue than noted before.
