Message files use a key-value system, which marks different strings of text with a unique identifier. When creating new keys, the identifiers can be whatever you want, but ideally, you should make them easy to remember and be consistent.

In YAML, line breaks and double-quotes have a special structural meaning, so they cannot be used directly in your text. Instead, <code>\n</code> (for line breaks) and <code>\"</code> (for double-quotes) must be used. This is called "escaping" the characters. | In YAML, line breaks and double-quotes have a special structural meaning, so they cannot be used directly in your text.
