+ | === Language Tags === |
||
+ | |||
+ | A language tag is the language only tag that is at the top of the file. |

+ | |||

||
+ | Block style: |

+ | login : Log In |
||
+ | logout : "Log Out" |
||
+ | name : 'Name' |
||
+ | Flow style: { login: 'Log In', logout: Log Out, name: "Name" } |
||
+ | |||
+ | ''' The pattern of the language tag is configurable ''' |
||
+ | |||
+ | In the above example, 'en' is a language-only language tag. This is the default pattern. The language tag pattern is configurable through the [[Group_Configuration_Files#config_lrm_info.properties|config_lrm_info.properties]] file. The language tag pattern must match the pattern that are in your resource files. However, your resource files must contain consistent patterns or 'MISSING_KEY' errors may occur. |
||
+ | |||
+ | ''' LRM ignores the YAML language tag when determining the resource keys ''' |
||
+ | |||
+ | If a YAML file contains nested keys or arrays, then LRM ''flattens out'' the structure so that a unique key can be created. For example, each field name within a nested object has a separator of '''''_^o^_'''''. The language tag is not included in the creation of the unique key. The following is an example of the unique LRM resource keys created from the above YAML file. |
||
+ | |||
+ | The key/value pairs created by LRM are: |
||
+ | |||
+ | {| class="wikitable" style="border: none; background: none;" |

||
+ | |- |
||
+ | | Flow style_^o^_name || "Name" |
||
+ | |- |
||
+ | |} |
||
+ | |||
+ | === Global Tags === |
||
+ | A global tag is a static top-level key that is in all files but should be ignored by Localyzer when determining keys to be sent out for translation. |
||
+ | Example: |
||
+ | |||
+ | ProjectLogin: |
||
+ | nestedKey: |
||
+ | login: 'Log In', |
||
+ | logout: "Log Out", |
||
+ | name: Name |
||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | ''' Global tags are configurable ''' |
||
+ | |||
+ | In the above example, 'ProjectLogin' is a global tag and needs to be added to the ''global.tags'' attribute of the [[Group_Configuration_Files#config_lrm_info.properties|config_lrm_info.properties]] file. There can be multiple global tags as long as they are at the top of file. In the above example, both ''ProjectLogin'' and ''nestedKey'' could be global tags. Global tags are expected to be in all files...both base and target. |

Yaml Parser
LRM supports YAML 1.2 and uses the snakeyaml1.33 engine to parse files. Information on snakeyaml can be found at snakeyaml. Information about YAML can be found at YAML
Supported YAML syntax
The following syntax is supported by LRM.
Ordered Map
# Explicitly typed ordered map (dictionary). Bestiary: !!omap - aardvark: African pig-like ant eater. - anteater: South-American ant eater. - anaconda: South-American constrictor snake. # Flow style Numbers1: !!omap [ 1: one, 2: two, 3: three ] #Implicit ordered map Numbers2: - {1: one} - {2: two} - {3: three} #Block style ordered map with duplicate keys Block style tasks: - meeting: Meeting with team. - meeting: Meeting with boss. - break: Lunch break. - meeting: Meeting with client. #Flow style ordered map with duplicate keys Flow tasks: [ meeting: Meeting with team, meeting: Meeting with boss ]
LRM parsing for Ordered Map
Sequences have a separator of _^a^_
The key/value pairs created by LRM are:
Key | Value | |
---|---|---|
Bestiary_^a1^__^o^_aardvark | African pig-like ant eater. | |
Bestiary_^a2^__^o^_anteater | South-American ant eater. | |
Bestiary_^a3^__^o^_anaconda | South-American constrictor snake. | |
Numbers1_^a1^__^o^_1 | one | |
Numbers1_^a2^__^o^_2 | two | |
Numbers1_^a3^__^o^_3 | three | |
Numbers2_^a1^__^o^_1 | one | |
Numbers2_^a2^__^o^_2 | two | |
Numbers2_^a3^__^o^_3 | three | |
Block style tasks_^a1^__^o^_meeting | Meeting with team. | |
Block style tasks_^a2^__^o^_meeting | Meeting with boss. | |
Block style tasks_^a3^__^o^_break | Lunch break. | |

Literal Blocks
# Multiple-line strings can be written either as a 'literal block' (using |), literal_block: | 'This entire block of text will be the value of the 'literal_block' key, with line breaks being preserved. The literal continues until de-dented, and the leading indentation is stripped. Any lines that are 'more-indented' keep the rest of their indentation - these lines will be indented by 4 spaces.'
LRM parsing for Literal Block
The key/value pairs created by LRM are:
Key | Value | |
---|---|---|

Anchors
# YAML also has a handy feature called 'anchors', which let you easily duplicate # content across your document. Both of these keys will have the same value: anchored_content: &anchor_name This string will appear as the value of two keys. other_anchor: *anchor_name # Anchors can be used to duplicate/inherit properties base: &base name: Everyone has same name foo: &foo <<: *base age: foo age bar: &bar <<: *base age: bar age # foo and bar would also have name: Everyone has same name
LRM parsing for Anchors
Nested keys have a separator of _^o^_.
The key/value pairs created by LRM are:
Key | Value | |
---|---|---|
anchored_content | This string will appear as the value of two keys. | |
base_^o^_name | Everyone has same name | |
foo_^o^_age | foo age | |
bar_^o^_age | bar age |
Language Tags
A language tag is the language only tag that is at the top of the file.
en: Block style: login : Log In logout : "Log Out" name : 'Name' Flow style: { login: 'Log In', logout: Log Out, name: "Name" }
The pattern of the language tag is configurable
In the above example, 'en' is a language-only language tag. This is the default pattern. The language tag pattern is configurable through the config_lrm_info.properties file. The language tag pattern must match the pattern that are in your resource files. However, your resource files must contain consistent patterns or 'MISSING_KEY' errors may occur.
LRM ignores the YAML language tag when determining the resource keys
If a YAML file contains nested keys or arrays, then LRM flattens out the structure so that a unique key can be created. For example, each field name within a nested object has a separator of _^o^_. The language tag is not included in the creation of the unique key. The following is an example of the unique LRM resource keys created from the above YAML file.
The key/value pairs created by LRM are:
Key | Value | |
---|---|---|
Block style_^o^_login | Log In | |
Block style_^o^_logout | "Log Out" | |
Block style_^o^_name | 'Name' | |
Flow style_^o^_login | 'Log In' | |
Flow style_^o^_logout | Log Out | |
Flow style_^o^_name | "Name" |
Global Tags
A global tag is a static top-level key that is in all files but should be ignored by Localyzer when determining keys to be sent out for translation. Example:
ProjectLogin: nestedKey: login: 'Log In', logout: "Log Out", name: Name
Global tags are configurable
In the above example, 'ProjectLogin' is a global tag and needs to be added to the global.tags attribute of the config_lrm_info.properties file. There can be multiple global tags as long as they are at the top of file. In the above example, both ProjectLogin and nestedKey could be global tags. Global tags are expected to be in all files...both base and target.
Unsupported YAML syntax
The following syntax is not supported by LRM. If a file contains unsupported syntax then an error will occur when reading the file.
Set format
A set is an unordered collection of nodes such that no two nodes are equal.
baseball players: !!set ? Mark McGwire ? Sammy Sosa ? Ken Griffey # Flow style baseball teams: !!set { Boston Red Sox, Detroit Tigers, New York Yankees }
Sequence format
A sequence is a collection indexed by sequential integers starting with zero.
Block style: !!seq :- Mercury :- Pluto Flow style: !!seq [ Mercury, Pluto ]
Multiple Documents
A file that contains multiple documents, indicated by '---' and '...' is not supported.
--- doc1: value1 ... --- doc2: value2 ...
Blank Values
An empty string, such as is allowed but a blank value is not.
this_is_valid: "" this_is_invalid: this_is_valid2:
Multi-lines that are not literal strings
key1: 'this\n' is \n a test'
Folded Style (>)
folded_style: > This entire block of text will be the value of 'folded_style', but this time, all newlines will be replaced with a single space. Blank lines, like above, are converted to a newline character. 'More-indented' lines keep their newlines, too - this text will appear over two lines.
Mixing sequence with simple key/values
Sequence and simple key/values cannot be in the same file. See Topmost list
- key: login msg: "Log In" - key: logout msg: 'Log Out' simplekey: Simple value
