Translating services

We now support translating services in Home Assistant. Previously, the names & descriptions of services and their service fields have been hardcoded into the services.yaml files of each integration.

We have now added support for translating these names & descriptions using our translation system. This means that the names & descriptions of services and their service fields can now be translated into any language.

To achieve this, the name and description keys from each service and service field moves from the hardcoded services.yaml files to the translation files of each integration.

An updated example of a services.yaml service description can be found in our documentation. The backend localization has been extended to have an example of a translated service, matching the example from the service description.

The services translation is available as of Home Assistant 2023.8. We hope this will make Home Assistant more accessible to non-English users.
