The firmware takes its texts from screen_manager/translations/<code>.json at build time (components/smart_display:
one table in main.cpp, keys in screen_text_keys.h), and the fonts carry every letter European languages write with.
The app keeps Settings -> Language & region (language, clock, numbers) for every screen, writes LANGUAGE into the
screens' YAML and sends the clock and the number format in the layout message; the per-screen 24-hour clock goes.

Everything a user sees or reads is now English: both boards' labels,
status replies and logs, the ESP Screens editor and Alerts cheatsheet,
and the README and guides (docs/TILES.md, CALIBRATING.md, ACCEPTANCE.md
and TROUBLESHOOTING.md replace the Dutch file names). Labels follow
Home Assistant's own English names (Heat/Cool modes, Heating/Cooling
actions, Away, Returning to dock, weather conditions), dates use English
abbreviations and the top bar writes numbers the English way. Docs use
HA 2026.9's menu names (Settings -> Apps, App store, Settings -> Tools).
Unused legacy files (home-like.yaml, buttons.yaml, a.out) are removed.
Firmware 0.2.34 names its entities in English. Home Assistant registers
a renamed ESPHome entity under a new entity ID, so the inbox
text.<screen>_tegelinstellingen becomes text.<screen>_tile_settings and
the layout stored under the old ID would be lost. The manager now
recognises the screen by its device, during a run or after a restart,
and moves its layout and update history along; the Update button and
the nightly round follow the screen through the rename. Screens that
still run 0.2.33 or older keep working: both languages are matched.
Main is the only release branch from now on.
Tested on a Home Assistant Yellow (HA 2026.9.1) with both bench boards:
see docs/TEST_RESULTS_0240.md.

The name stays on the left; up to six items go on the right: the time, an
analog clock, the date, or a Home Assistant entity with its icon, showing its
state or how long ago it changed, always or only while active. The add-on
formats entity text in Dutch and sends it as op: header right after the layout
to firmware 0.2.32+; older firmware keeps the clock of show_clock, which now
follows the clock item.
The firmware draws every value in one font on the name's baseline, centres
icons and the dial on the digit height and measures gaps between glyph ink, so
the bar looks even; the editor's mockup uses Roboto and the same integer rules.
tools/render_topbar.py renders the real LVGL code on a computer (ESPHome host +
SDL2). The editor's section buttons are gone.
Firmware 0.2.32 for both boards.
