YAML Comment Preservation
Comments in your YAML localization files are now preserved during import and export. This means developer notes, usage context, and translation hints stay intact throughout the entire translation workflow.
Previously, comments were stripped when YAML files were processed—a limitation of how YAML parsers work. We’ve implemented a solution that extracts comments during import and restores them on export, so your files come back exactly as you’d expect.
What’s supported:
- Comments above translation keys
- Multi-line comment blocks
- Inline comments at the end of a line
- Comments at any nesting depth
This is especially useful for teams that use comments to communicate character limits, placeholder documentation, or context for translators. Those notes now flow through to WebTranslateIt and back to your codebase without manual intervention.
