Ruby on Rails is an open-source framework designed to simplify the development of web applications using the Ruby programming language. Ruby on Rails has a built-in module for localization that uses .YAML as the standard file format (along with RB).
Prior to translation, perform a sanity check of the .YAML file ensuring it complies with all .YAML conventions, such as indentation-based data nesting.
If a file contains keys in the array format, the editor displays the translation as a string. Ensure translators do not change the syntax as there is no content validation for that key type. The key type can be changed to Array in the key settings to automatically exclude it from translation orders.
Code Sample
--- English: boolean_key: true empty_string_translation: '' key_with_description: Check it out! This key has a description! (At least in some formats) key_with_line-break: |- This translations contains a line-break. nested: deeply: key: Wow, this key is nested even deeper. key: This key is nested inside a namespace. null_translation: pluralized_key: one: Only one pluralization found. other: Wow, you have %s pluralizations! zero: You have no pluralization. sample_collection: - first item - second item - third item simple_key: Just a simple key with a simple message. unverified_key: This translation is not yet verified and waits for it. (In some formats we also export this status)
