Bug: Simple JSON Key: Value translates to a strange object JSON

🌐 Machine Translator

A GitHub Action that automatically creates machine-translated PRs of translation files. Supported file formats include:

.ini
.po
.restext
.resx
.xliff
.json

Usage

# This is a basic workflow to help you get started with Actions
name: Create translation pull request

# Controls when the action will run. Triggers the workflow on push or pull request
# events but only for the main branch
on:
  push:
    branches: [ main ]
    paths:
    - '**.ini'       # INI-based, key value pair file format
    - '**.po'        # Portable Object file format
    - '**.restext'   # INI-based, key value pair file format
    - '**.resx'      # XML-based (resource) translation file format, .NET
    - '**.xliff'     # XML-based translation file format, version 2
    - '**.json'      # JSON-based, key value pair file format

# GitHub automatically creates a GITHUB_TOKEN secret to use in your workflow.
env:
  GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

# A workflow run is made up of one or more jobs that can run sequentially or in parallel
jobs:
  # This workflow contains a single job called "build"
  build:
    # The type of runner that the job will run on
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    # Steps represent a sequence of tasks that will be executed as part of the job
    steps:
      # Checks-out your repository under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE, so your job can access it
