If you want to specify a location that is not a city/town's name, but a name of some geographical location
(e.g. it can be a site in a city, a mountain name, a special location etc.) you should place `~` before its name.
That means the location name should be looked up before:
$ curl wttr.in/~Vostok+Station
$ curl wttr.in/~Eiffel+Tower
$ curl wttr.in/~Kilimanjaro
In this case there is a line below the weather forecast output describing the founded precise position:

## Translations ## Internationalization and localization
wttr.in is currently translated in more than 30 languages. wttr.in supports multilingual locations names: they can be specified in any language in the world
(it may be surprising, but many locations in the world do not have any English name at all).
The preferred language is detected automatically based on the query headers (`Accept-Language`) The query string should be specified in Unicode (hex encoded or not). If it contains spaces
which is automatically set by the browser or can be set explicitly using command line options they must be replaced with +:
in console clients (for example: `curl -H "Accept-Language: fr"`).

The language used for the output (except the location name) does not depend on the input language
and it is either English (by default) or the preferred language of the browser (if the query
was issued from a browser) that is specified in the query headers (`Accept-Language`).
It can be set explicitly when using console clients by means of the appropriate command line options
(for example: `curl -H "Accept-Language: fr" wttr.in` or `http GET wttr.in Accept-Language:ru`).
The preferred language can be forced using the `lang` option: The preferred language can be forced using the `lang` option:
