I’m using the [File Upload] API to upload a new translation file. My yaml file has keys with . delimiters. When uploaded to the project/resource, Transifex has changed the . to <TX_DOT>. This change remains when pulling the translated data down later. This is a new behavior as far as I can tell. Do I need to just replace that character on my side or is this a mistake I’m making?
Hello!,
Thanks for reaching out to Transifex support.
Yes!, This is expected, and this is why. Let’s say you have the following structure in the YAML file :
en:
web-forms:
design-elements:
meta-preheader: Hey There!
Our logic is to separate each key level with “.” so with the above, you will get the following key: “web-forms.design-elements.meta-preheader”, Now let’s say you decide to use a dot instead of a dash; the result will be something like this: “web-forms.design-elements.meta<TX_DOT>preheader”
We understand this is not expected by you and we apologize for the inconvenience, but we needed to implement a way to preserve our logic, so, I’m afraid you must implement a way to change the key or to map this values on a little script outside Transifex.
Let me know if you have any further questions, once again, I. apologize for the inconvenience

Ok. So it seems i need to change the uploads that i’m using to break on the dot and send a nested object instead of compound keys.
Hello,
Yes, You could split your key and avoid having dots in it, the output will be something like this:
File:
en:
meta:
preheader: Hey There!
String = Hey There!
Key = en.meta.preheader
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Best Regards
