| Category | Description |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| `title` | Title of the integration. |
| `state` | States of the integration, keyed by device class. |
| `config` | Translations for the config flow. |
| `device_automation` | Translations for device automations. |
| `issues` | Translations for repairs issues. |
| `options` | Translations for the options flow. |
| `device_automation` | Translations for the device automations. |
| `state` | States of the integration, keyed by device class. |
#### Title
This category is just a string: the translation of the integration name. This key is optional and Home Assistant will fallback to the integration name if it is omitted. Only include this if it's not a product brand.
#### State
If your integration provides entities under its domain, you will want to translate the states. You do this by offering a `state` dictionary, that contains translations for states with different device classes. The key `_` is used for entities without a device class.
```json
{
"state": {
"problem": {
"off": "OK",
"on": "Problem"
},
"safety": {
"off": "Safe",
"on": "Unsafe"
},
"_": {
"off": "[%key:common::state::off%]",
"on": "[%key:common::state::on%]"
}
}
}
```
#### Config / Options
The translation strings for the configuration flow handler are defined under the `config` key. An example strings file below describes the different supported keys:
The translation strings for the configuration flow handler and the option flow handler are defined under the `config` and `options` keys respectively. An example strings file below describes the different supported keys. Although the example shows translations for a configuration flow, the translations for an option flow is exactly the same.

#### Device automations
The translation strings for device automations are defined under the `device_automation` key. An example strings file below describes the different supported keys.
```json
{
"device_automation": {
// Translations for supported device actions
"action_type": {
"open": "Open {entity_name}"
}
// Translations for supported device conditions
"condition_type": {
"is_open": "{entity_name} is open"
}
// Translations for supported device triggers
"trigger_type": {
"opened": "{entity_name} opened",
"remote_button_short_press": "\"{subtype}\" button pressed",
}
// Translations for device trigger sub types, typically used for names of buttons
"trigger_subtype": {
"button_1": "First button"
}
}
}
```
#### Issues
The translation strings for repairs issues are defined under the `issues` key. An example strings file below describes the different supported keys.
```json
{
"issues": {
"cold_tea": {
// The title of the issue
"title": "The tea is cold",
// Translations for a fixable issue's repair flow, defined in the same way as translation for a configuration flow.
// Exactly one of `fix_flow` or `description. must be present.
"fix_flow": {
"abort": {
"not_tea_time": "Can not re-heat the tea at this time"
}
}
},
"unfixable_problem": {
"title": "This is not a fixable problem",
// Description of the issue, exactly one of `fix_flow` or `description. must be present.
"description": "This issue can't be fixed by a flow."
}
}
}
```
#### State
If your integration provides entities under its domain, you will want to translate the states. You do this by offering a `state` dictionary, that contains translations for states with different device classes. The key `_` is used for entities without a device class.
```json
{
"state": {
"problem": {
"off": "OK",
"on": "Problem"
},
"safety": {
"off": "Safe",
"on": "Unsafe"
},
"_": {
"off": "[%key:common::state::off%]",
"on": "[%key:common::state::on%]"
}
}
}
```
### `strings.sensor.json`
Integrations can provide translations for states of its entities under other integrations like sensor. To do this, the entity will need a custom device class that starts with `<domain>__<custom name>` (note double underscore). You can then provide translations that will only be applied for your entity. Note that you cannot customize your translation when you use an official device class. Those are standardized.
