Multi line strings in translations file?

See original GitHub issue

Environment

Ember Version: 9ba382d0e2cd2a2356deecbf61db303a16b53a44 (2018-06-12)
Ember CLI Version: 7bc63039a1f89e03d9c1246cc5d3e8245290f302 (2018-05-29)
Ember Intl Version: 3.0.0-beta.8
Browser(s): Chrome
Node Version: 8.11.1

Steps to Reproduce

have a long translation entry that is broken up on multiple lines.

example:

      "whatIsQ": "What is {appname}",
      "whatIsA": "
        {appname} is the open source p2p encrypted chat
        client that operates over open source
        mesh nodes on free-tier cloud services.",

previously with ember-i18n, I could use a js file, which allowed me to use backticks / multi-line strings. Is there a way to do that with ember-intl?

@jasonmit Woops, serves me well for not trying to understand the actual error message. Works fine, thank you!

The yaml parser seems to be suggesting it wants a linebreak after the |-

i.e.:

key: |-
  foo
  bar
  baz
