Describe the issue

The generated entities doesn't get their names from the translation files. For example the friendly name of "My best sensor Battery+" should be "My best sensor Elem+" with the Hungarian translation. Maybe a space is missing before the Battery+ and Elem+ strings here:

Hi, the lack of a space is intentional as in certain circumstances there's no device name prefix.
Is this only happening with battery+ or other battery notes entities?
Can you clear your browser cache, I've sometimes seen issues with translation strings being cached.

Hi, this is happening with all the entities created by the integration. The attribute names are ok.
Cleared the cache, even recreated an association, but the strings are untranslated.

Every other translated text is okay, only the friendly names not:

Thanks for checking the cache and providing those details, I'll have a look into it.

Using the Sun integration as a test I changed my user and system language from English to Hungarian and the friendly names were still English.
I then deleted the Battery Note for the Sun, re-added whilst I was set to Hungarian and it added them correctly translated as can be seen below.
Can you have a look if this fixes it for you? I know there is some confusion about what translation is used if your user and system language are different, maybe you had one set to English when creating the battery notes for your device?

Apologies I am only an English speaker so localisation is tricky for me to test.

That was it, thanks! The system language was not set (defaulted to English), and the user profile language was not used for the entity names but all the others. I set the system language in configuration.yaml to Hungarian, and it works.

Thanks for confirming.
I did some reading up and this is a common issue with home assistant and not just battery notes, not a great user experience.
