The new strings are being automatically merged

When I try to add two similar strings, they always get automatically merged, as the only difference is whether there is a period at the end.

How can I make these two strings coexist? They always get automatically merged.

Hello there,

It depends on the file format you’re using. Usually, if it’s key-based, it’s enough to have another key, for example:

key12: some_text
key18: some_text

You may also change file processing by using these modules:

My original file is in JSON format, for example:

{
  "\"Automatically adjust quality\" will be disabled for these videos.": "\"Automatically adjust quality\" will be disabled for these videos.",
  "\"{directoryTitle}\" is currently being updated": "\"{directoryTitle}\" is currently being updated",
  "\"{directoryTitle}\" is empty": "\"{directoryTitle}\" is empty",
  "\"{playerName}\" is playing media from an unknown source.": "\"{playerName}\" is playing media from an unknown source.",
  "({count} Channels)": "({count} Channels)",
  "+ {count} more": "+ {count} more",
  "...plus more exclusive features!": "...plus more exclusive features!",
  "0 Channels (scan required)": "0 Channels (scan required)",
  "0 files": "0 files",
  "1 Album": "1 Album",
  "1 Episode": "1 Episode",
  "1 Item": "1 Item",
  "1 Movie": "1 Movie",
  "1 Second": "1 Second",
  "1 Show": "1 Show",
  "1 Track": "1 Track",
  "1 Video": "1 Video"
}

Do I need to add the strings in the original file? I don’t understand why the strings added through Crowdin’s UI are being merged.

Hi @x1ao4 ,

This is the expected behavior for JSON format. If you want to have this string as a separate one, you are welcome to add double quotes for the identifier with the period. You are welcome to check the screenshot as an example:

As a result, the newly added string will not be merged with the same string but without a period.
