## I’m trying to use haml in my locale files but cant get it to parse. en.yml

page:  
content: "  
%p  
some paragraph  
%p  
another paragraph  
"

view.html.haml  
------------------- (works)  
=Haml::Engine.new(t('page.content)).render

-------------------(does not)  
=t('page.content)

is the first example the only way to do this?  
or am I going about this all wrong?
