How to rename states of an entity?

Configuration
1

First of all I am a total coding noob. I created a template sensor of an weather integration using a subentity.

- sensor:
    - name: dailyconditionforecastffm
      state: "{{state_attr('weather.dwd_weather_frankfurt','forecast')[0].condition}}"

That’s working. In the next step I tried to rename the states using different if-commands, but nothing worked.

So I need a little help. Thanks in advance.

What are all the states the attribute value could be?

And what do you want them renamed to?

3

partlycloudy, cloudy, rain, etc.

Just want to translate them

4

List the translation for each weather condition.

5

leicht bewölkt, bewölkt, Regen

- sensor:
    - name: dailyconditionforecastffm
      state: >
        {% set x = 
          { 'partlycloudy': 'leicht bewölkt',
            'cloudy': 'bewölkt',
            'rain': 'regen'
          } %}
        {% set y = state_attr('weather.dwd_weather_frankfurt','forecast')[0].condition %}
        {{ x.get(y, 'unknown') }}
