Need a little startup help

[Ricks88]

Hello

I would like to ask some help to get this working.
I'm making use of packages in my configuration.yaml, like:
"packages: !include_dir_named integrations"
in there I have for example: "template: !include_dir_list ../entities/template", where I put all templates.

How do I do this for

custom_templates:
  preload_translations:
    - en
    - nl

Should I link to the custom_templates folder?
I can not link this directly in my configuration.yaml

And where to I put the files to start with the entities I want to translate? Should they be .yaml?

Thanks!

Once you have added this config to configuration.yaml you can use new functions in normal template sensors.

[Ricks88]

do I have to make separate template sensors for each entity I want to translate or can I do that directly in lovelace for each sensor?

[Ricks88]

because it works in devtools but I don't know how to actually show it there in lovelace

type: custom:button-card entity: sun.sun aspect_ratio: 0 ....... name: sunsun test

[PiotrMachowski]

If the card you want to use supports templates you can use it directly, but generally speaking you have to create a template sensor. Buuuut lovelace cards should use translated values out of the box

Ow sorry , did not read this one yet.

Then i better create template sensors, so they stay translated forever haha.

"Buuuut lovelace cards should use translated values out of the box", Yes, it did long time ago. i have no translation anymore in button cards. Do not understand why.

"Off" should be "Droog"

Sorry, but can not get it to work:

platform: template

sensors:
  sun_nl:
    friendly_name: "Sun NL"
    value_template: "{{ 'sun.sun' | ct_state_translated('nl') }}"

No filter named 'ct_state_translated'.) for dictionary value @ data['sensors']['sun_nl']['value_template']. Got "{{ 'sun.sun' | ct_state_translated('nl') }}".

[Ricks88]

Yes i have

[PiotrMachowski]

Have you restarted HA after adding custom_templates in configuration.yaml?

[Ricks88]

Yes, always

[Ricks88]

but i use packages: !include_dir_named integrations
and
custom_templates:
preload_translations:
- en
- nl

in a separate file in the integrations map

[PiotrMachowski]

Have you tried to add it in configuration.yaml?
