Naming a script in local language Bug

[Opontios]

The problem

The expected behavior is the entity_id of the script, when naming the script in local language, to be transcripted into English. Instead it is named "unknown" with an incremented number at the end.

What do you mean with local language?

What do you mean with local language?

Not English. Russian in particular case.

So wait, you create a script with those letters and it will name the entity unknown?

[Opontios]

How can I explain it simpler? Before the update if I named an automation or a script like this: "Привет", the entity_id of the script would be "script.privet". And now it's "script.unknown". The second script named differently and again in local language is named "script.unknown_2" and etc.
The issue is not the naming itself. You can always rename the entity_id. But, as already mentioned here "#115334", after changing the entity_id of the script the "service: script.new_entity_id" produces an error and the service call continues to work with the initial entity_id, although it doesn't exist any more. I see that you commented in that post also and the thing that amazed me that you weren't aware of the fact that to run a script you could just write "service: script.entity_id", and not necessarily "service: script.turn_on" and the name of the script, and the difference those 2 expressions have.

@Opontios What happens to the entity name of your automation if your copy it and give it a new name in your local language? Do you still get script.unknown or do you get the right entity name? For me making a copy with the right name and deleting the original works, while renaming doesn't. I'm curious to know if this is similar in your case.

As I mentioned, the issue is not the entity_id of the script itself, although it was very convenient that the system converted the cyrillic name to a latin. The issue is that to run the script you can only use the original entity_id of the script created by the system, even if you change it it doesn't recognize the new entity_id created and runs with the original one, even though as an entity it doesn't exist any more.
