Feat/timer translation

[rummens]

Here is a first working version of the timer transcription. It was a bit more work than expected, so I added a few unittests to make sure I didnt mess things up. I tried to describe the required changes/steps in the timers.md

I would suggest we first discuss this PR, then I can add the Spanish translation. I can try to add french too but only with auto translation. What do you think?

I wasnt really sure what to do with the snooze service. The yaml made it expect a number but the code expected a string. If passed just a number of minutes (e.g. 5) the function decode_time_sentence would always fail to match a regex and therefore return None. This didnt feel right. Also the blueprint is passing a string (which is techniclly against the service definition). So I updated the yaml, hope that was the right way forward? It is a breaking change unforunetly.

This bring the changed service to two (both require a language to be passed now): set_timerand snooze_timer

I also wasn't sure why this condition is present, so I didn't translate it. If you can help figure this out, I would appreciate it.

Updating this code showed me how much work and effort went into this project. So big applause to everyone involved :) Hopefully I can contribute a little to make it even better.

(P.S. also happy to support translating the settings of the integration, I saw there is config file. But lets leave that for another day)

@rummens Thanks for this. Wow. Looks like lots of changes. Will want to rope in @msp1974 for additional review. One thing of note is that this is targeting main instead of dev branch. Can you update?

@rummens, firstly my sincere apologies that it has taken so long to get back to you on this.

When I saw your translation file, I felt that it was going to be too difficult for people who are not capable developers to do a translation and therefore we would end up with just English and German (or other languages you or I could do).

As such, I have been busy doing some rewrites of the integration and relooked at how we do timers to make internationalisation simpler. I have taken the approach to translate the sentence into english first and then process it to a time/interval. This has significantly simplified the whole process and the code is now completely new.

Below is an example of the now required translation file - which you will see should be capable of being created by most people, just changing the right hand side of the key/value pairs.

Still not quite finalised and I am looking to see if we can get any of this from the existing HASS translations to reduce it further.

Just sharing, so you know that progress is being made and that you will see this in a release in the not too distant future.

Hey @msp1974, this looks fantastic and much cleaner indeed. Let me know if you need help pushing translations :-)
And sorry for being inactive for a bit, I have a lot of topics going right now 🤪

[dinki]

Hey guys, this one has been around for a bit. I am not tracking fully. Is this still a WIP? @rummens @msp1974

[rummens]

No I havent worked on this for a while, since I parked the whole Voice Assistant topic for now. But if @msp1974 needs help to validate some things I can jump in 👍
