Yaml

Many i18n libraries use YAML files to keep translation messages. SimpleLocalize supports yaml format to import and export translations. You can use nested translations keys as shown below.

File format example

hello-world: Hello world!
home.interface.signup: Signup
home.interface.email: Email address
home.interface.password: Password

SimpleLocalize also recognizes nested YAML keys, as shown below.

hello-world: Hello world!
home:
  interface:
    signup: Signup
    email: Email address
    password: Password

Importing a file above will result with:

hello-world
home.interface.signup
home.interface.email
home.interface.password translation keys in Translation Editor.
