When I open the url in my browser, I don't see any English word, but only Lithuanian. How does the result look when you open it in the browser? — Yogu, May 04 '12 at 20:35
I'm in Germany and my browser is German, too, so this should be no problem. — Yogu, May 04 '12 at 20:42

See my answer to your original question - no need for WebUtility.HtmlEncode as you get "amp;hl=lt" query parameter instead of "hl=lt".

English result: http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=vilnius&hl=lt

Non-English result:http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=vilnius&hl=lt

Wrong in what sense? server does not seem to return valid XML from what I can tell, but there is nothing wrong with url itself. – Alexei Levenkov May 04 '12 at 20:54
