The same home in German, French and Polish. The screens follow your Home Assistant: its language, its words for a light or a robot, and how your country writes a date, a time and a number — 75 % in German and French, 75% in Polish and English.
+ +The screens, the editor and its messages speak **English (US and UK), Nederlands, Deutsch, Français, Italiano, +Español, Português and Polski**. Nothing to set up: ESP Screens takes the language of your Home Assistant. + +

A space in front of a percent sign follows the same rule as Home Assistant: 54% in English and Dutch, 54 % in German, French, Czech, Finnish, Slovak and Swedish. - **Room for longer words.** The weather columns show two-letter days, a long weather word ends in an ellipsis instead of running into them, and the line under a tile's name keeps the part that carries the news: "Yest. 9:15 PM" where the full wording doesn't fit, and a robot's battery stays readable behind Home Assistant's word for its state. - **Add or improve a language yourself.** Every text of one language sits in one file, `screen_manager/translations/.json`, and docs/TRANSLATING.md walks through starting a new one, checking it with `tools/i18n.py check` (it measures the lines under a tile's name in the screens' own font) and sending it in. A language without a file falls back to English, with its own clock and number style.

+- **What it costs.** The letters of the European languages sit in the fonts of both boards, and one language's texts in the firmware: 48 KB on a CYD. Built with the ESPHome this add-on ships (2026.9.0) its firmware is 1,632,896 bytes, 89.0 % of its update slot (0.2.89: 1,585,136 bytes, 86.4 %); built with the oldest ESPHome the packages accept (2026.6.2), 1,657,808 bytes or 90.3 %. A Guition, with 16 MB of flash, stays around a quarter of its own. Both boards keep building with ESPHome 2026.6.2 or newer.
