Hey, created an addon, i have issues creating the translation file to make comments to the options
Created this file:
As you can see, i have 3 sections
Its possible to create a list of devices => this part fails, it doesnt take the discription/name from that translations file
The sections system/mqtt are working…
Here you can see the output how it looks like:
All the yellow part is ok, but not the “add” section to create a device:
here is the confoig file:
I ran in to the same issue and fixed it. Starting with 2026.4!
Wow, that’s good news!! Gonna update my addon later!

or is it not released yet maybe? i dont see the PR in the releases?
It works fine for me on 2026.04. Weird that it doesn’t work for you. Your config look good to me the only difference I have is that I don’t use the item block.
You can check mine:
It works just fine:
You can test it out for yourself by installing my app. You don’t need to start it to see the configuration → GitHub - Skaronator/InkBridge: A lightweight App to capture Home-Assistant dashboard screenshots and optimize them for eInk displays. · GitHub
well, i tried it with your addon, and it doesnt show text either for me?
are you sure your PR is already merged? maybe its working for you because if cache when you were testing your PR,
because if i look in the frontend releases:
i dont see your PR listed there in the last releases, also not in the 2024.4 milestone?
My version:
* Installation methodHome Assistant OS
* Core2026.4.2
* Supervisor2026.04.0
* Operating System17.2
* Frontend20260325.7
Thats really weird because I’m on the same release ant it works just fine.
Yes, you can see the commit here: Add translation support for nested app configuration schemas (#30121) · home-assistant/frontend@2fec5a4 · GitHub
Its available in these version according to the GitLab UI:
This cannot be it since I was developing it locally and my real home-assistant machine never saw that code.
I just opened the setting menu on my phone and it just works fine there as well.
Really weird.
Very strange… Can you do the test once again on your system with incognito mode?
Don’t get it why I don’t see the text using your addon?
also tested now another HA instance from a friend, nu text visible either 
updated to core 2026.5.0 , and now it works!
