Bug: Simple JSON Key: Value translates to a strange object JSON about resource-translator HOT 2 CLOSED

I have been playing around with this a bit...

The issue seems to when writing calling parser.toFileFormatted AND only with the ... (three dots)

Ah ok I see the issue here. Because to get the key we do a const keyParts = key.split("."); which splits on the key. I guess this is a limitation and can not be solved in a easy way.

If there are any strings in the key with a '.' it could break the translation process. I just created a simple string Hello World. which breaks the JSON Parser.

It also breaks if there is a period inside of a text to be translated: Hello World. Hello Universe. for example.

This:

"Reference number already in use. Please enter a different reference number": "Reference number already in use. Please enter a different reference number",

results:

"Reference number already in use": {
   " Please enter a different reference number": "Reference number already in use. Please enter a different reference number"
},

Update

There actually is a solution to this. When building the map a period is used which then prevents that any key can have this inside of the string. The easiest way to solve this is by using another delimiter. I tested with something like [--] which works but is not really the nice IMHO :-D Any suggestion?
