Additional context

Given I have sensor, that has a state: sensor.ehm6g88s_status -> awaiting_start.

This is translated in the custom component, so how do i get the translated string in my card? If I were to use a regular Entity card or similar, it would be translated properly. How do I achieve the same-ish behaviour with the config-template-card?

Here's an example:

- type: custom:config-template-card
  entities:
    - sensor.ehm6g88s_status
  card:
    type: button
    show_name: true
    show_icon: true
    state_color: false
    tap_action:
      action: toggle
    entity: switch.ehm6g88s_smart_charging
    icon: mdi:power
    show_state: false
    name: ${states['sensor.ehm6g88s_status'].state}

Inside config-template-card you can use JS to access to HA objects. I guess (may be wrong) that translations ("above_horizon -> Above horizon", "on -> Connected") are not part of these objects...

Currently translations are not a part of states object. They cannot be read in jinja templates - and in JS templates as well. This may probably be made as a local "helper function" (like it is made for custom:button-card).

Converted to FR.
