# Locale::Po4a::Yaml(3pm)

convert YAML files from/to PO files

## NAME

Locale::Po4a::Yaml - convert YAML files from/to PO files

## DESCRIPTION

Locale::Po4a::Yaml is a module to help the translation of Yaml files into other \[human\] languages.

The module extracts the value of YAML hashes and arrays. Hash keys are not extracted.

NOTE: This module parses the YAML file with YAML::Tiny.

## OPTIONS ACCEPTED BY THIS MODULE

These are this module's particular options:

- **keys**

  Space-separated list of hash keys to process for extraction, all other keys are skipped.  Keys are matched with a case-sensitive match. If **paths** and **keys** are used together, values are included if they are matched by at least one of the options. Arrays values are always returned unless the **skip\_array** option is provided.

- **paths**

  Comma-separated list of hash paths to process for extraction, all other paths are skipped. Paths are matched with a case-sensitive match. If **paths** and **keys** are used together, values are included if they are matched by at least one of the options. Arrays values are always returned unless the **skip\_array** option is provided.

- **skip\_array**

  Do not translate array values.
