I want to have a sentence that contains elements i already have  
translations for.  
I already have:  
\<%= t ‘nested’ %\>  
\<%= t ‘be\_cool’ %\>

This is my sentance:  
“This is an example of where nested translations would be cool.”

Is there anyway to have something like this in my yml file??

en:  
nested: “nested”  
be\_cool: “be Cool”  
the\_sentence\_with\_nested\_elements: “This is an example of where  
\<%= t ‘nested’ %\> translations  
would  
\<%= t ‘be cool’ %\>.”

Any help or insight is appreciated, If this isn’t possible…let me  
know!!
