Import / Export with reference key problem

[SimonDKnight]

Hi, I am using i18n reference keys in my .yml file e.g.

en: greetings: hello: hello hello_again: :greetings.hello

The problem I am running into is when I export the translations to a csv file the hello_again value is having the colon removed so its no longer a reference value.

If I then manually go into the csv and add back in the : to make it :greetings.hello and then import the translation I now end up with double quotes around the reference (like below)

en: greetings: hello: hello hello_again: ":greetings.hello"

Has anyone run into this problem before, anyone got any tips on how to export/import translation values that reference other values?

Hi Simon,

Have updated the import export gist to include this commented line near the end of the csv_import method:

# translations.map! { |t| [t.first, (t.last&.=~ /^(?=.*\.)[a-z0-9_\.]+$/) ? t.last.to_sym : t.last] }

Uncomment this in order to attempt to recognise entries that are likely reference keys (symbols) pointing to other translations, intended to be rendered in your .yml with a preceding colon.
