### Devices
#### Name of devices
Integrations can provide translations for names of its devices. To do this, provide a `device` object, that contains translations of the names and set the device's `translation_key` to a key under a domain in the `device` object.
If the device's `translation_key` is not `None`, the `name` which is either set in an entity's `device_info` property or passed to `DeviceRegistry.async_get_or_create`, will be ignored. If the `device` object does not provide a translated name for the specified `translation_key`, the `translation_key` will be used as device name.
It is also supported to use placeholders within the translation. If a placeholder is defined within the translation string, the device's `translation_placeholders` has to be set accordingly.
The following example `strings.json` is for a device with its `translation_key` set to `power_strip`:
```json
{
"device": {
"power_strip": {
"name": "Power strip"
}
}
}
```
The following example `strings.json` is for a device with its `translation_key` property set to `n_ch_power_strip` and a placeholder `number_of_sockets`:
```json
{
"device": {
"n_ch_power_strip": {
"name": "Power strip with {number_of_sockets} sockets"
}
}
}
```
### Entities
