Recursively translating yaml's with lists does not work

[rscherf]

What an incredibly useful gem! Thank you for building/maintaining it! 👏

I have a somewhat complex translation yaml schema, which includes lists/sequences. Consider the following simple example:

en:
  test:
    one: Will this translate?
    two:
    - title: How about this?
      body: Or this?
    three:
      four:
      - title: How about this level?
        body: And this?
    five:
      six: This translates
      seven:
        eight: And this does as well

Then, when running i18n-tasks translate-missing, I receive this (alphabetized for simplicity):

de: 
  test:
    one: Wird das übersetzt?
    two:
    - title: How about this?
      body: Or this?
    three:
      four:
      - title: How about this level?
        body: And this?
    five:
      seven:
        eight: Und dies auch
      six: Dies übersetzt

Is there a mechanism for auto-translating all these keys, including those with a - dash prefix? Am I missing something? Can I force the gem to recognize this structure?

Thanks for all you do!

FWIW, I also tried with various [] and {}:

en:
  test:
    one: Will this translate?
    two: {
      title: How about this?,
      body: Or this?
    }
    three:
      four: {
        title: How about this level?,
        body: And this?
      }
    five:
      six: This translates
      seven:
        eight: And this does as well
        nine: [
          {
            title: The title,
            body: A body,
          },
          {
            title: Another title,
            body: Another body,
          },
        ]

to

de:
  test:
    one: Wird das übersetzt?
    two:
      body: Oder dieses?
      title: Wie wäre es damit?
    three:
      four:
        body: Und das?
        title: Wie wäre es mit diesem Niveau?
    five:
      seven:
        eight: Und dies auch
        nine:
        - title: The title
          body: A body
        - title: Another title
          body: Another body
      six: Dies übersetzt

Which is obviously closer, but still can't handle multiple list items.

And after even further testing, the following does work:

en:
  test:
    - Translate this
    - Then this
    - And after, this

Properly translates to:

de:
  test:
    - Übersetze das
    - Dann das
    - Und danach das

So naturally, I tried:

en:
  test:
    - {
      item: The first item,
      title: The first title
    }
    - {
      item: the second thing,
      title: the second title
    }

And got 😩

de:
  test:
  - item: The first item
    title: The first title
  - item: the second thing
    title: the second title

The translator only handles arrays and strings at the moment

If you'd like to attempt a fix by adding Hash support, the code is here

i18n-tasks/lib/i18n/tasks/translators/base_translator.rb

Lines 64 to 94 in a2adc31

	# Prepare value for translation.
	# @return [String, Array<String, nil>, nil] value for Google Translate or nil for non-string values
	def dump_value(value)
	case value
	when Array
	# dump recursively
	value.map { |v| dump_value v }
	when String
	replace_interpolations value unless value.empty?
	end
	end
	# Parse translated value from the each_translated enumerator
	# @param [Object] untranslated
	# @param [Enumerator] each_translated
	# @return [Object] final translated value
	def parse_value(untranslated, each_translated)
	case untranslated
	when Array
	# implode array
	untranslated.map { |from| parse_value(from, each_translated) }
	when String
	if untranslated.empty?
	untranslated
	else
	restore_interpolations untranslated, each_translated.next
	end
	else
	untranslated
	end
	end
