#Does HA have some method for templating

Let's do it here

#

Like, these weather providers have forecast, usually in something like temperature_2d

#

Buienradar has one entity description for every metric for every day

# 
        key="temperature_1d",
        translation_key="temperature_1d",
        native_unit_of_measurement=UnitOfTemperature.CELSIUS,
        device_class=SensorDeviceClass.TEMPERATURE,
    ),
    SensorEntityDescription(
        key="temperature_2d",
        translation_key="temperature_2d",
        native_unit_of_measurement=UnitOfTemperature.CELSIUS,
        device_class=SensorDeviceClass.TEMPERATURE,
    ),
    SensorEntityDescription(
        key="temperature_3d",
        translation_key="temperature_3d",
        native_unit_of_measurement=UnitOfTemperature.CELSIUS,
        device_class=SensorDeviceClass.TEMPERATURE,
    ),
    SensorEntityDescription(
        key="temperature_4d",
        translation_key="temperature_4d",
        native_unit_of_measurement=UnitOfTemperature.CELSIUS,
        device_class=SensorDeviceClass.TEMPERATURE,
    ),
    SensorEntityDescription(
        key="temperature_5d",
        translation_key="temperature_5d",
        native_unit_of_measurement=UnitOfTemperature.CELSIUS,
        device_class=SensorDeviceClass.TEMPERATURE,
    ),
    SensorEntityDescription(
        key="mintemp_1d",
        translation_key="mintemp_1d",
        native_unit_of_measurement=UnitOfTemperature.CELSIUS,
        device_class=SensorDeviceClass.TEMPERATURE,
    ),
    SensorEntityDescription(
        key="mintemp_2d",
        translation_key="mintemp_2d",
        native_unit_of_measurement=UnitOfTemperature.CELSIUS,
        device_class=SensorDeviceClass.TEMPERATURE,
    ),
    SensorEntityDescription(
        key="mintemp_3d",
        translation_key="mintemp_3d",
        native_unit_of_measurement=UnitOfTemperature.CELSIUS,
        device_class=SensorDeviceClass.TEMPERATURE,
    ),```
#

And Accuweather now has a

#

self._attr_name = f"{description.name} {forecast_day}d"

#

Which makes the code a lot cleaner

#

So I was thinking, why can't we have translation placeholders for these small things

#

Also with the added problem that Lokalize doesn't like all the references to itself

# 
        "name": "Condition 1d",
        "state": {
          "clear": "[%key:component::buienradar::entity::sensor::condition::state::clear%]",
          "cloudy": "[%key:component::buienradar::entity::sensor::condition::state::cloudy%]",
          "fog": "[%key:component::buienradar::entity::sensor::condition::state::fog%]",
          "rainy": "[%key:component::buienradar::entity::sensor::condition::state::rainy%]",
          "snowy": "[%key:component::buienradar::entity::sensor::condition::state::snowy%]",
          "lightning": "[%key:component::buienradar::entity::sensor::condition::state::lightning%]"
        }
      },
      "condition_2d": {
        "name": "Condition 2d",
        "state": {
          "clear": "[%key:component::buienradar::entity::sensor::condition::state::clear%]",
          "cloudy": "[%key:component::buienradar::entity::sensor::condition::state::cloudy%]",
          "fog": "[%key:component::buienradar::entity::sensor::condition::state::fog%]",
          "rainy": "[%key:component::buienradar::entity::sensor::condition::state::rainy%]",
          "snowy": "[%key:component::buienradar::entity::sensor::condition::state::snowy%]",
          "lightning": "[%key:component::buienradar::entity::sensor::condition::state::lightning%]"
        }
      },```
#

Like Lokalize is having issue with showing this correctly, I mean it still works (-ish) but it's not ideal

#

and now buienradar has this, but we have way more weather processors

#

so being able to just have something like

# 
    "name": "Condition {day}d"
  }```
