      FAQs

      How does Phrase handle arrays included in YAML files?

      If your file contains keys in the array format, the Translation Editor will display the translation as a string. There is no content validation for keys of that type, so please make sure that translators do not change the syntax. You can change the type of that key to Array in the key settings to automatically exclude it from translation orders.
