Interface does not translate - HA language not detected

[adnovea]

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current Behavior

I have installed all the update for a couple of months and though the language translation issue will be solved. Now I guess it's time to report this issue. My HA interface is in French but the add-on labels are in English. Looking at the SRC folder, there is a file for french translation and inside the sunsynk-power-flow-card.js file I can found the french strings. I have no clue what could be wrong.

Steps To Reproduce

No response

Expected behaviour

Card strings should translate

Hi. This does work if you explicitly set you HA Dashboard language

The problem is the translation does not look good and needs some work to fix alignment

[adnovea]

Hi splix06,

Thanks for your quick reply. I had the language set under Parametres > System > General

but the add-on always displays English strings

Any idea what could be wrong ?

French is wordy so we need to find some shortcuts. It could be something like :

    "common": {
        "description": "Une carte Home Assistant pour émuler les flux d'énergie affichés à l'écran des onduleurs Sunsynk ",
        "version": "Version",
        "runtime_to": "AVANT D'ATTEINDRE",
        "battery_floating": "BATTERIE FLOTTANTE",
        "charge": "CHARGE",
        "to": "À",
        "daily_load": "CHARGE DU JOUR",
        "daily_aux": "CHARGE AUX DU JOUR",
        "daily_grid_buy": "ACHAT CE JOUR",
        "daily_grid_sell": "VENTE CE JOUR",
        "daily_solar": "PRODUCTION DU JOUR",
        "daily_solar_left": "PRODUCTION / RESTANT (JOUR)",
        "daily_charge": "CHARGE DU JOUR",
        "daily_discharge": "DÉCHARGE DU JOUR",
        "ratio": "Ratio",
        "timer_off": "Prog. M.",
        "timer_on": "Prog. A.",
        "priority_batt": "Batterie en 1er",
        "priority_load": "Charges en 1er",
        "nonessential_name": "Non Essentielles",
        "aux_name": "Auxiliaire",
        "load1_name": "",
        "load2_name": "",
        "pv1_name": "PV1",
        "pv2_name": "PV2",
        "pv3_name": "PV3",
        "pv4_name": "PV4",
        "essential": "Essentielles"
    },

Thanks I will update with your suggestions. You need to set the language under your profile for the card translation to work.

[adnovea]

Thanks for the hint but it was already the case.

So what I did was to select Deutsche and the translation worked,. I selected back French and it worked. I logout and login again but the card is back in English. Look like you must re-select language each time you login.

[slipx06]

Thanks for confirming the solution. That might be a HA bug or maybe your browser is caching some files. I'm not sure. You can try clear your browser cache or double check in a new incognito window........or just don't log out :)

[adnovea]

Hi, I already did the test using an other browser (Edge instead of FF) and this is how I found the strange behavior. Clearing the browser cache reset the language selection. You must stay logged after changing the user's language. Many thanks for you nice add-on. I run it for a DEYE 5K.

Oups, timer_off/on inverted in my French translation. I suggest the following to solve this issue. THX

        "timer_off": "Prog. Off.",
        "timer_on": "Prog. On",

Where "Autarky" can be translated to "Autoconso" ? Could decimals of "energy_cost_buy" be selected 0-2 ?

[slipx06]

Thanks I will fix that. I want to leave the term Autarky as it is a concept of self sufficiency that could get lost in translation. I will add an additional attribute to the Grid section, energy_cost_decimals: 2 so you can customise the number of decimal places for energy cost buy and sell

@adnovea Fixed and added in v2.12.0

[adnovea]

Thanks for you quick support and for your work.

[tigers75]

I think this should be added to the main page FAQ, it's not the expected behaviour and it's very rare that people track down a closed issue on GitHub

[slipx06]

When you log a bug report I do ask that you please check open and closed issues

If more people trip over this I'll add it to the main page.

[tigers75]

Well, I am aware and I did search, but couldn't find it. So will many that will come after me. Also since this is the only add-in that doesn't get translated properly I believe the issue is NOT resolved, and should be investigated more and not closed. Maybe it happens only to who updated the card, and not on fresh installs. Anyway I don't think it's normal.

[slipx06]

@tigers75 I've made some updates to the translation logic. Can you test 3.1.0 if it solves the issue

[jzielke84]

I also encountered this issue and I am staying logged in. In Fully Kiosk Browser on my Huawei Tab, the language in my profile is set to German but the cad shows English, while on my Desktop, the card shows German. All other cards on my Tablet show up in German on both devices, so this is clearly a card issue. @slipx06 please re-open this issue.

PS: Bought you 3 coffees anyway, since this card is very nice and offers so much functionality.

[slipx06]

@jzielke84 can you try changing your language to English and then back to German on your tablet.

[jzielke84]

@slipx06 This worked, but wth 😳 Why did all other cards show up correctly? Doing this would have never occoured to me. Thank you!
