Nested keys

Reusing existing translations

Sometimes you may want to reuse values from other translations keys to avoid duplication. That's where nested keys come in handy. Other keys can be referenced using the %r{} directive:

en:
  messages:
    greeting: "Hello %r{messages.world}!"
    goodbye: "Goodbye %r{messages.world}!"
    world: "world"

The parser will check the existence of nested keys at compile time and let you know if any of them could not be found.

Warning

Key nesting does not work recursively, so you can't reference a locale key that in itself references another locale key.

It's also not possible to use two nested keys. Please consider creating a PR or opening an issue it that's something you need.
