I think the translation is correct, only the translation from number 1 to 2 is wrong. 1 stays 1 😃
And maybe you can put the outcome between \<\>.
It is next to the upload button.

Please add this one:

What about just have a list from an array within an BLL string?
Then we can create our own list in a static BLL logic and use that instead of predefining all kinds of possibilities?
Something like this in a string:
‘’’
List:3#en:eco;comfort;antifrost#nl:eco;comfoor;vorstbeveiliging
‘’’
Or just the json instead in the string.

Unfortunately, lists cannot be created dynamically in homey.

Please add this one, used for a dehumidifier (raw device via Tuya) is other device than previous posted
Name and ID for Laundry Drying is different, don’t know is that is relevant for the title line, the ID is the name used in the enum to send to the device.
```auto
"title": {

Manuall or Handbetrieb?
A manual in EN is indeed an Handbuch, but manual operation is Handbetrieb
(according to Google translate 😉 )

Handbetrieb or Manuell are both correct.
(According to different translation sites)

Hi Jonorland, seems almost the same to[this request for air purifier](https://community.homey.app/t/request-custom-picker-for-advanced-virtual-devices-from-the-device-capabilities-app/79440/32).

FYI Marius,
As far as I know, for numbers and symbols, like, 30%, no translations are needed
Also, I think the title of picker two is too long
```auto
"title": {
"en": "30%, 35%, 45%, 50%, 55%, 60%, 65%, 70%, Continuous"
```
Maybe this should do?
```auto
"title": { "en": "30% to 70%, Continuous" },
```

I just followed the guide. If not needed, i guess Arie will delete it?

I did not know that it was a issue, with the numbers of pickers. Again, i did just try to follow the guide in post 1.
