How should operations personnel translate YAML configuration files while preserving indentation structure?
“YAML relies on indentation to represent hierarchy; even minor whitespace errors can cause configuration file parsing failures. In addition, keys are typically system parameters and must not be translated.”
Root Cause Analysis
Strict Indentation Preservation Mechanism
O.Translator records the indentation level of each line when parsing YAML. When translating values, regardless of the length in the target language, the exact original indentation is strictly maintained during reinsertion.
Comment Translation and Preservation
Intelligently detect comment content following `#`. Users may choose to translate comments to assist international teams in understanding configuration intent, while ensuring that configuration parameters (keys) themselves remain unchanged.
Final Solution Summary
Ensure that the translated configuration file is not only human-readable, but also functions flawlessly for machine parsing.
