Translation of directions N-E-S-W

[rainer-geiger]

First off I want to say that this card is amazing!

But I have a suggestion for improvement: Is it possible to introduce a translation of the "directional letters" in the configuration? I'm from Germany and in German for example "east" means "Osten". So it would be great if I could change the letters NESW according to my language.

Maybe something like this:

- compass:
          indicator: arrow_inward
          show_north: true
   direction_offset: 180
   entity: sensor.wind_bearing
   secondary_entity: sensor.wind_speed
   name: Wind
   translate:
          north: N
          east: O
          south: S
          west: W
   type: 'custom:compass-card'

Thanks for your feedback!

I was planning on using the integrated translation in Home Assistant for translation, instead of putting translation in the yaml.

This would work for you when your Home Assistant language is set to German or to automatic and your browser sais to use German. If your configuration page is in German, your good.

I'd like to know if your Home Assistant is in German, and if you use a localized weather integration whether its string direction state has its states in German.

If you could find the time, could you help out translating the strings in this file? Then all stuff will be in German.

I also would like to have the directions translated in Dutch. I' m using Home Assistant in English language because I like the original menu's and messages for troubleshooting.

Ok good to know, so i would need to implement a forcing mechanism to pick a language different from the ui for the abbreviations.

Homeassistant is set to German. My weather integration is "DWD Deutscher Wetterdienst". The integration has no string direction state, only numerical value in degrees:

I've done the German translation, can I push it to dev?

[tomvanswam]

Thanks a lot for the translation. Please use a pull request, instead of a direct push to dev.

I'm working on getting the abbreviation language independant from the HA language when that is done, the German language will be included in the next release.

If creating a pull request is to much of a hassle, you can post the translation file here too.

Ok, cool, that's actually just easier for me ;-)
