I18n::InvalidLocaleData: can not load translations from <path> #<Psych::SyntaxError: (<path>): found unknown escape character while parsing a quoted scalar

[hardik-plume]

What I tried to do

Use I18n outside rails for my rspec test. One of the yaml strings is invalid_email_address: "L\'adresse e-mail n\'est pas valide"

What I expected to happen

When i call I18n.t(:invalid_email_address) in my rspec, it should return string "L'adresse e-mail n'est pas valide"

What actually happened

I actually get an error

Versions of i18n, rails, and anything else you think is necessary

i18n gem version 1.5.3, ruby 2.6.1, osx 10.14.3

same code worked on ruby 2.4.2

Hey @hardik-plume !

1. What is the psych version you're using ?
2. Do you edit your files manually or you're using some 3-rd party tool (e.g. localeapp) ?
3. Can you provide the yaml file or can you check if you can load it manually (YAML.load_file(file)) ? Thanks!

• I edit my yaml file manually

@hardik-plume Please format stacktraces with triple-backticks. This is pretty unreadable at the moment.
