Hi Just a remark When I use on: as a key in my language file I18N cannot find that key in the yml file, but when I change it to on\_: it works I use it to translate a preposition before time as born on 1:th of april My en.ylm file has enumeration: disweb\_date: preposition: on: on My se.ylm file has enumeration: disweb\_date: preposition: on: den This does not work but enumeration: disweb\_date: preposition: on\_: den works Anyone that has an explanation ---

Guessing it’s treated as a bool (same as unquoted “no”).

Henrik I my try to add something about this topic, if other could do as you did Add any information about the reserved words in the yaml files and other problems Just a remark; Why should on be treated as no. It is not in list of bools you refer to below But is is a bollen in [http://yaml.org/type/bool.htm](http://yaml.org/type/bool.htm) that lists y|Y|yes|Yes|YES|n|N|no|No|NO |true|True|TRUE|false|False|FALSE |on|On|ON|off|Off|OFF * * * Hans M.

Andreas, Henrik Thanks for the tips Someone should list in the I18 guide reserved words in the yaml files (I have not that knowledge myself) There have been several mails in this group concerned with that question and that may be a base for these advices * * * Hans M.

On is not treated as No, quite the opposite. On Thu, Sep 16, 2010 at 1:22 PM, Hans M.
